Tamed chaos

The ceramic objects by Ellen Rijsdorp are inspired by natural structures such as sand dunes, ice crystals, wood, rocks and leaves. The surfaces of the partly double-walled forms are accentuated with small texture elements and strongly structured. The supposed chaos is ordered by a restrained framing. The balanced colours harmonise with the form. Round bowls with rough edges, as if hewn from a rock, surprise in depth with a colour-contrasting lake of glaze.
