Slab built vessels and vases are characterised by their construction from flat pieces of clay, which can vary in size from small segments to larger, more substantial slabs. This method allows for a distinctive interplay between form and surface, where the flat planes create sharp angles or subtle curves, emphasising the materiality of the clay. The surface treatment often draws inspiration from the weathering of the urban built environment, capturing the textures and markings left by time, pollution and human interaction. These imperfections, cracks, scratches and uneven patinas, evoke the gritty and worn character of concrete facades, rusted metal and peeling paint, lending the vessels a raw yet refined aesthetic that bridges craftsmanship and contemporary urban experience.
