Stuff We Love: Porcelain Simplicity
Posted by Allison Arieff
Friday, October 16, 2009

Writing in the Australian Journal of Ceramics, Damon Moon wrote of Kirsten Coelho's poetic works of porcelain: "late-nineteenth century European sensibilities met a thousand years of North-Asian ceramics to create an idiom which whilst finding a home in craft, could reach out with one hand and touch art, and with the other the practical world of industry."

One can certainly appreciate the myriad influences expressed in Coelho's works, one can also just fall in love with their utter simplicity. I love how quiet yet absolutely compelling these elegant white forms are, and how they merge high art and the everyday. Coelho's work is currently on view at the exquisite Matin Gallery in Los Angeles (www.matin-gallery.com).
