ceramics Design Foraging

Design Foraging: Studio Joo

My favorite aesthetic is work that feels both organic and modern.  Maybe it’s my competing loves of cities and the woods.  The work of Brooklyn artist Elaine Tian in her Studio Joo ceramics embodies that juxtaposition in the most elegant way.

Light washes of color remind me of wispy landscapes seen through squinted eyes, her translucent glazes making each piece seem as polished as a river rock.  The shapes and palettes feel organic in nature, but there is a restraint and simplicity to the forms that create a collection that is thoroughly modern.  I’ll take one of each, please!
