Edition of 10

John Born, creator of Humble Matter, says: “My work uses a vocabulary of repeated shapes in an attempt to create archetypal forms that feel like an inevitable part of this continuum. They not only serve a purpose as functional pieces, but as talismans that ground us in the magic and importance of everyday objects and rituals in an increasingly inhuman and digitized world.”

Each piece is made from stoneware, with each component receiving a different surface treatment. White + grey slip with silica carbide along with red and black glaze.
