American-born ceramic artist Luisa Maisel approaches clay as both material and metaphor for exploring movement and the transformations of time. Her practice balances control and instinct, merging sculptural form with a sensitivity to process. Through experimental techniques of hand-building and high-firing, she embraces the unpredictable nature of clay, allowing heat and gravity to shape her work in unexpected ways. The result is a body of porcelain vases that feel alive, each one hand-stained and dipped in a matte or glossy glaze.
