MOON LIGHT
Athenian ceramicist Angeliki Stamatakou communes with her pieces like a diver caressing the contours of the ocean floor. Each handmade object elicits a true sense of alterity and wonder.
The Moonlight candleholder takes on just such an otherworldly presence. Rough-moulded textures meet glossy mineral accents. Ripples rise and dip like fossilised foam and blush-red washes run beneath. Dark metallic beads punctuate and catch light like little moons in orbit.
Moonlight is a dreamy atmosphere, pairing well with warm wall tones and an alcove to catch the shadows it casts.
Angeliki Stamatakou is a ceramic sculptor based in Athens, Greece. In her series of works, large clay sculptures serve as pure evocative artworks as well as functional pieces such as vases and candleholders, blurring the lines between utility and art.
The meticulous hand-building technique she employs emphasises a hands-on, artisanal aspect to making. This method ensures that each piece is unique and carries the mark of the artist's personal touch.
Themes of movement, mystery, freedom, and security infuse her exploration. The visual narrative mirrors
a fantastical underwater civilisation, speaking to spirits deeply connected to the sea and nature.
Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book.
