Lucas Huillet - Vase - Bond - Stoneware - Vase Bond

Vase Bond n9, unique piece
The Bond vase was born from the fusion of my ceramic work and the practice of bondage. The anthropomorphic shapes of the deformities clash and come together. All of it is contained by a cordage made in Shibari.
Shibari means “to be tied, bound”; this word is used in Japan to describe the art of tying parcels, in the West it designates the art of bondage (“kinbaku” in Japanese).
Even if the practice evokes a certain violence, through restriction of movement, it is in fact an art that is performed with a deep respect for the person or object that is tied. The cordage must be applied with the right tension; the knots distribute, amplify or release the forces it exerts around the piece according to their orientation and their tightening, and this without ever hurting, damaging or breaking the thing that is tied.
Everything is a matter of balance.
