BLACK BOWL
The black, matte-glazed ceramic bowls recall the jutting shale-façade cliffs of a rocky northern beach.
Their shallow concavity and asymmetrical stony appearance make for an understated kitchen island or coffee table ornament, while the soft black matte creates a striking yet simple background contrast for holding the fruit of a summer harvest.
B. 1989 near Munich, Germany
At the start of her formal training in the visual field, Lisa Dengler acquired a BA in Architecture near Toronto and in doing so worked with architecture firms in Switzerland, The Netherlands and Germany. She continued to explore and manifest her visual language through a career in fashion, graphic design and photography.
In an act of opposition to the fast-paced and constantly fleeting, consumption-based landscape she had found herself working in, she began stone carving in her Brooklyn studio with just a hammer and chisel.
She continues to explore various artistic media and processes in different locations around the world, from New York to Mexico to Spain, to now Maastricht, The Netherlands, focusing on natural materials and classical techniques from a contemporary perspective.
"I am drawn to raw materials, perhaps because of my background in architecture, or perhaps because of my love of nature. I want every piece to feel tangible, in both literal and metaphysical senses."
