“Bud” is a sculptural embodiment of emergence - a form caught at the moment before unfolding. Its architecture consists of layered, petal-like planes that rise in a gentle, asymmetric rhythm, echoing the tension between enclosure and release. The silhouette is both minimal and monumental, balancing soft curvature with sharply defined edges.
Fired in an Anagama kiln, the surface reveals a rich interplay of natural ash, ember markings, and atmospheric gradients. Warm ochres fade into smoky greys, while subtle speckling and texture give the piece a geological presence. Each facet records a different encounter with the flame, making the sculpture unmistakably unique.
The work reflects the expressive material sensibility admired in contemporary ceramic artists such as Beatričė Kelerienė, where sculptural clarity meets the unpredictable poetry of wood firing.
“Bud” holds strong collectible appeal due to its complex sculptural geometry, the rarity of its firing method, and the one-of-a-kind surface created exclusively through Anagama atmospherics. The combination of architectural form and natural ash patina places it within a category of contemporary ceramic sculpture that is highly sought after by collectors of kiln-fired art.
With its durable stoneware body and sculptural presence, the piece integrates seamlessly into modern interior environments, gallery settings, and curated outdoor spaces. Whether placed in a minimalist living room, a landscaped garden, or a contemplative courtyard, “Bud” becomes a grounding focal point that enriches its surroundings.
