Karolina Stus has been busy behind the scenes and we are delighted with the results. How beautiful are these textures and colours 💙
Words from the artist herself Karolina Stus
From my Studies in Clay
Clay has become my newest study.
After years of exploring photography, wood and natural fibres, I found myself drawn to another material shaped by time, fire and patience.
Every piece teaches me something new.
Every firing is a lesson in letting go of control and embracing what the earth chooses to reveal.
As autumn settles across Aotearoa, I've found inspiration in the leaves quietly falling around us. Their curled edges, weathered textures and gentle return to the forest floor became the starting point for this new body of work.
TERRA COLLECTION
Introducing my two new Ceramic Wall Sculptures, OPAD I and OPAD II.
Opad means "the falling."
Inspired by late autumn leaves, these ceramic forms recall fragments of a forgotten forest. Suspended between decay and preservation, they hold the quiet beauty of what time almost reclaimed.
Alongside them are four pairs of Ceramic Sculptural Earrings, each carrying the same quiet language of earth, fire and nature.
Crafted from Buff Raku clay, oxides and glazes.
