Description

Petrichor is a series of wheel-thrown ceramic vessels by Toronto-based artist Queenie Xu that embodies the fleeting moment where the human body and nature blur. Hand-altered forms twist like muscle and bone, their surfaces etched with tattoo-like lines that follow the curves of their bodies. Inspired by the body’s resilience and nature’s quiet persistence, Petrichor asks: “What does it mean to be a vessel—for memory, for decay, for new life?” – Queenie Xu

Each artwork is hand crafted and will slightly vary in weight, size, colour, and style.

Retail Feature from August to October – titled Petrichor

Care & Use: The cups are watertight.

Material: Ceramic and ash glaze.

Measurement (in.): D4 x H4.5
