Ceramicist Mark Goudy draws inspiration from origami in his ongoing series, creating minimal yet complex forms that reflect nature's geometries. Utilizing his engineering background, he employs algorithmic 3D software to design sculptures that balance naturally. His thin, slipcast clay pieces, often in black or white, are adorned with metallic salt pigments, which react during drying to create unique color gradations. His work will be showcased at the 63rd Faenza Prize for Contemporary Ceramic Art in Italy, emphasizing his passion for light and atmosphere through ceramic art.
Using only three metal salt pigments: gold, cobalt, and chromium, Goudy achieves various shades of red, blue, and green.
Many of these forms are designed to balance on the folds—when set on a flat surface, they rock back and forth, naturally settling into their inherent point of equilibrium.
As the metal salts soak into the porous clay body, they move and interact with each other
