Simone No. 2 Parchment

Simone No.2 in glazed Parchment carries the quiet presence of an object shaped by time. Its elongated body tapers into a softened point, a form that feels both deliberate and weathered, as if gently eroded rather than sculpted by hand. The lip curves outward in an irregular gesture, guiding light upward in a manner that feels less like illumination and more like a slow exhalation.

The parchment glaze settles into the surface with a quiet complexity. A fine network of craquelure spreads across its form, the result of a firing process that resists total control. In some areas, the glaze gathers into a warm translucency; in others, it pulls taut, leaving behind a surface that recalls sun-bleached bone or the parched texture of aged plaster. These subtle fractures do not disrupt the form but instead deepen its material presence, suggesting a piece in quiet conversation with time and transformation.

Neither purely functional nor purely sculptural, Simone No.2 hovers between the two, absorbing and releasing light in measured balance. It does not demand attention but instead reveals itself gradually—through the shifting of light, the variations in texture, the way the glaze holds onto the memory of fire.
