Coarse Elegance

A ceramic sculpture that embraces the tension between delicacy and rawness. The form recalls a tailored garment — upright, fitted, and composed — yet its surface is rough, uneven, and visibly marked by the hand.
The dark, matte glaze settles into every ridge and imperfection, giving the sculpture a tactile, almost earthen quality. It feels both carefully dressed and worn by time. The absence of a body within sharpens the contrast: elegance without vanity, presence through texture.
Coarse Elegance invites the viewer to feel with the eyes — to explore beauty that is not polished, but grounded, honest, and human."
