LEAH JENSEN (B. 1990)

Leah Jensen creates intricately hand-carved ceramic vessels inspired by her research and examination of European painting between the 14th – 16th centuries, depicting tales of tragedy and beauty. Images of the paintings are applied to the unfired clay surface and then pins are used to map out significant points, unearthing a hidden geometric structure within the painting. The points left behind dictate where the patterns will be carved. This particular piece has been created from ‘The Annunciation’ by Leonardo Da Vinci.
