Dana Chieco / Ceramics / Vase / Bottleneck No 21

I pay attention to how my work feels to be held and often consider the symbology of vessels as it relates to the practice of unconditional love – of receiving and being received, holding and being truly beheld.

Dana Chieco is drawn to the creation of organic vessels that are self-contained, serene, and beautiful to behold exactly as they are, without having to serve a utilitarian function. For her ceramic collection she says, “I aspire for the curves, textures and colors of a collection to feel harmonious and cohesive, as if the pieces belong together and speak the same language, yet also convey this imprint individually. I am also deeply inspired by nature and its majestic and unrivaled beauty teeming with life. I love when a collection resembles a forest or a collection of seashells, the glaze ripples in waves, or the clay speaks of geological formations, constellations and galaxies."
