Description

Inspired by mother nature, Eekta hand builds and decorates each of her pieces. She employs a technique called Kurinuki, where she inserts a dowel into a block of clay to create a hollow base, which she then shapes into her vessels. Her practice relies on intuition: she lets the seeds of her ideas grow into the final forms in this way, often manifesting in organic patterns across the surface of her vessels.

Care & Use: Hand built and painted. Hand washing is recommended.

Material: Red stoneware, slip, underglaze, glaze

Measurement (in.): D10 x H2

Weight: 1lb 3.2oz.

SKU: 111123

About The Artist

Eekta Trienekens

Eekta Trienekens grew up in the Netherlands and lived in the medieval cities of Amersfoort and Leiden before moving to Canada a little over a decade ago. Her mother is from Punjab, India, and Eekta spent many seasons there for extended visits with her grandparents. The extreme contrast between these two worlds is a strong influence in her work, oscillating between a sense of belonging and otherness. She has a degree in Arts Education (Utrecht) and South Asian Studies (Leiden). Though Eekta works in a variety of materials, ceramics has been her main artistic practice since 2015.

Since fall 2015, she has been spending most of her available time in the potters studio. She's so grateful to have this opportunity as a member of the wonderful community of the Waterloo Potters Workshop. Each and every day she am learning and enjoying the many processes and techniques that come with working with clay.
