SYNCYTIA

Our latest series of sculptures explores the morphology of continuous organic growth through the physics of matter.

Inspired by mycelial systems and syncytial cellular structures—where individual boundaries dissolve to form a single, unified, and massive tissue—each piece is the result of a controlled parametric evolution across thirds.

The geometry bypasses mechanical assembly; instead, it operates as a single fluid skin that contorts, expands, and saturates symmetrically along a fixed central vertical axis.

To push further into the study of matter, these complex topologies are subjected to the logic of high-temperature firing. The surface finish responds to the behavior of a reactive glaze fired to Cone 10.

The material behaves as a high-viscosity fluid: it breaks on the tensioned pneumatic crests, exposing the mineral tone of the inner clay body, while pooling heavily due to gravity inside the deep concave cavities to form dense, vitrified reservoirs with authentic micro-crystalline and thermal imperfections.

An intersection of biological stochasticity, mathematical symmetry, and analog ceramic alchemy.
