ArtistAriana Heinzmancreates colorful vessels with bold designs.
This gives the pieces an illustrative quality and a playful appearance that’s both thought-provoking and inviting.
I see vessels as a stand-in for the human figure, she tells My Modern Met.
Heinzman works intuitively to create her ceramic sculptures.
She starts with a slab of clay and then forms coils to layer and shape the vessel.
Once the clay is leather-hard, she cuts it into leaf and floral shapes.
Heinzman then adds the glazes and patterns seen on the final iteration of the piece.
This process is done intuitively, without hesitation,she writes.
A selection of colorful ceramics is now available in Heinzmansonline shop.
