GLOVE + POWER DRILL POTTERY

MORTEN PLESNER INTRODUCES THE POWER DRILL POTTERY COLLECTION FOR TABLEAU.A COLLECTION MADE IN A PROCESS OF SPINNING CLAY AT A CAVALLETTE AND A DRILL WITH DIFFERENT ANGLED TOOLS. THE ANGLE TOOLS PROVIDE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS WHERE THE CLAY IS RIPPED, PUSHED OR SCRATCHED, WHILE REPETITIVE USE OF THE DRILL MACHINE AND A HIGH FREQUENCY ON THE CAVALETTE[READ MORE]PROVIDE A VERY CERTAIN LOOK TO THE SCULPTURES. THIS TECHNIQUE MAKES EVERY OBJECT UNIQUE WHILE THE LOOK BECOMES EXTREME TORNED APART, HONEST AND ROUGH – YET STILL FRAGILE. INSPIRED BY SCIENCE FICTION AND VOLCANIC FORCES, IT DOES NOT LOOK HUMAN MADE BUT MORE LIKE A MINERAL SUCH AS LAVA OR MELTED METAL.

THE SERIE MADE FOR TABLEAU HAS BEEN HOLLOWED OUT, WITH A TECHNIQUE WHERE PLESNER HAS MANAGED TO PULL THE INSIDE OF THE CLAY UP WITH THE DRILL. EVEN THOUGH THE PROCESS LOOK VERY SERVERE, IT REQUIRES A VERY CALM, PRECISE AND METICULOUS PLACEMENT OF THE DRILL WHEN FORMING THE CLAY AS THE HIGH FREQUENCY WILL MAKE THE CLAY BREAK EASILY.
