Contrasts

The ceramic vessel: utilitarian object with high functionality or also three-dimensional sculpture? He is interested in both, says Martin Goerg, "the seemingly contradictory aspects of usability as an object of utility as well as the representation as a three-dimensional object". Utility dishes, building ceramics or vessel objects: the supposedly simple but exciting forms of his works stand in charming contrast to a lively, brittle surface. He covers monumental cylinders with immaculately smooth cores with a rough outer skin of earthy character, marked by the melting out and firing marks left by the fire and salt firing.
