AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Erosione — Sculptural Form (Unique Piece)

Hand-built earthenware sculpture by Valentina Cojocaru.

Part of the Erosione collection, this sculptural vessel explores some part of subtraction. Its generous, timeless silhouette is interrupted by a deep carved gesture that appears almost naturally worn away, as if the clay had gradually yielded to wind, water, or centuries of geological transformation.

Entirely hand-built through the traditional coiling technique, the vessel is slowly assembled, refined, and carved by hand. Made from natural red earthenware, the surface is left completely raw and unglazed, preserving the warmth, softness and mineral tactility of the clay itself. Every subtle irregularity remains visible, allowing the making process to become part of the finished work. As light moves across the piece, the carved volume continuously transforms its silhouette, inviting the viewer to discover new relationships between fullness and void.

A contemplative object, it stands confidently as a standalone sculpture, bringing presence and depth to any space through its quiet complexity.

Artisan: Valentina Cojocaru
Manufactured: One of a kind, Handcoiled
Origin: Made in Italy
Studio: Lea Studios
