Lucas Huillet - Vase - Bond - Stoneware - Vase Bond

Vase Bond n9, unique piece
The Bond vase was born from the union of my ceramic work and the practice of bondage. The anthropomorphic shapes of the deformations clash and come together. All of it is contained by a binding made in Shibari.
Shibari means “tied, bound”; this word is used in Japan to describe the art of tying parcels, while in the West it designates the art of bondage (“kinbaku” in Japanese).
Even though the practice evokes a certain violence, through the restriction of movement, it is actually an art performed with a deep respect for the person or object being tied. The binding must be applied with the right tension; the knots distribute, amplify or relieve the forces it exerts around the piece depending on their orientation and tightness, and never injury, damage, or break the thing being tied.
Everything is a question of balance.
