ARTIST STATEMENT

my work begins with a quiet impulse—an emotional thread i follow slowly into form. i build each vessel by hand, allowing its shape to emerge through intuition, rhythm, and response. the process is deliberate yet open, guided by a desire for harmony between form and finish.

i think of my ceramics as holding spaces—objects that contain not only volume, but feeling. there is an intentional coalescence in the way each form meets its surface: soft contours meet matte, textured finishes; structural weight is tempered by subtle imperfections. this meeting point—between shape and skin—is where the emotional resonance lives.

my work often dwells in dualities: strength and fragility, clarity and ambiguity, containment and release. i leave traces of the making process visible—finger marks, asymmetries, warps—as a way of preserving presence and care.

 

Artist, Poet, Mother, Lover, Human - Sasha Court

these pieces are quiet companions. they don’t ask to be understood all at once—they invite closeness, touch, and time. my work explores a question that guides everything i do: what is beautiful, and why does it matter? for me, beauty is not surface—it is truth. in their stillness, these vessels hold space for feeling, presence, and a kind of intimacy that resists urgency. my work is an offering: to remain open in a world that asks us to close.

“my work is a devotion to capturing the aCHE and the aWe of what it means to be human”.
