Björk Haraldsdóttir

My work which is all slab built, is a conversation between the pseudo -perfection of geometric pattern and the tactile impurity of hand-manipulated clay. I sometimes create warped planes through the careful pattern cutting and jointing of would-be flat slabs so that they become intentionally and subtly off-kilter.
My work is defined by the interaction of these very distinct attributes of form and pattern. The basic premise of ‘draped’ pattern over three-dimensional form is straightforward but the range of expression it allows is vast. The decorative process is monochrome which
seems to strike the right balance between form and pattern.
