RAMONA GSCHWEND

In response to an increasingly digital world, ceramics is experiencing a strong resurgence. Yet most of our material environment still consists of uniform, machine-made objects with perfectly controlled surfaces, leaving little room for chance or material expression. Various Press explores how an efficient synthesis of individual fabrication and mass production could look.

Adapting the industrial extrusion process traditionally used for building ceramics such as bricks, soft clay is pressed through metal templates and altered through experimental interventions. The result is a series of individually shaped yet serial ceramic artefacts that preserve the lively character of clay and can function as unique objects or as modular elements within larger systems.
