Special Edition for VitraHaus 2020

In 2020, I created a special edition for VitraHaus in Weil am Rhein – eight clay sculptures paying homage to the iconic animal masks designed by Ray and Charles Eames.

The collection – Fox, Rooster, Cat, Frog, Elephant, Snowman, Snow Bunny, and Snow Owl – translates the playful, graphic quality of the Eames masks into three-dimensional form.

Each piece in the Facial series is entirely handmade without molds, making every sculpture unique.

Working in clay and varnish, I maintain my intuitive approach to material and making while honoring the Eames legacy.

The edition was created to mark VitraHaus’s anniversary.
