Erika Bocchino
Handmade porcelain ceramics
Artist Statement
My work takes influence through my own textural and visual experience. While also stretching the limitations between high fire clay bodies and glaze formulas. This inspires me to create works that both seek those limitations, while bringing beauty into everyday modern contemporary functional wares. The surface of my pottery is presented in a highly tactile manner. Inviting to the touch, hoping to fulfill others humanly familiar textural and visual experience.
