Collection

La Potiere Jalouse: Rite of the Handmade by Helena Sarin

Description

In one sentence my collection is about celebrating joy, humor, exuberance, fragility, and imperfection. The intent was to create artwork at the intersection of prehistoric myths and symbols and the latent space - I'm fascinated by the analogy between almost geometric imagery of pre-Columbian patterns and the generative artworks. Through a series of AI-generated images, transformed into the surface design for the pottery my ceramic pieces emerge as 'future artifacts'—tangible tokens of a present that bows to the past. In this blend of history, myth, comedy and cutting-edge technology one could appreciate the technical prowess but the work is meant to be enjoyed just on its crafty surface level. I paired each unique picture with a unique handcrafted ceramic piece — think of the former, of the NFT, as a postcard, capturing the essence and spirit of La Potière Jalouse as inspiration for pottery. In fact, I made the pots for the deliberate purpose of painting generative images on them. And perhaps, as you ease into the night with your favorite drink cradled in one of these pots, you'll find joy in the simple pleasures—a sip of tea, a splash of bourbon, or the warmth of a crafted mug and listen to the generative folktale, the bedside story I'm telling through the imagery on that vessel.
