Made collection together and separate out of stoneware, glaze, porcelain vessel. Glaze has rough surface./ Combining these materials. Collection was affected by | Bauhaus but instead of straight lines they used curves. An other prominent thins where the three corners More to come.... Intense colorfulness and wheel throwing techniques. The shapes were inspired by nature, rock faces, lava shapes and in the end: shape of wings
I was attracted to the object because of the natural shapes, brought together in a whole collection. The shapes seemed to be formed by coincidence. I associated them with mushrooms and a freezing moment of a particular liquid. They reminded me of the high speed water drop photographs of Heinz Maier.
Nature creates all kind of random patterns, like a group of birds for example; together they create a form by flying a certain direction. Inspired by serie EARTHFLIGHT. (This interest in birds from both sides is by accident) (Jelly fishes) (Bees eyes) Another stoneware collection that creates a overall concept is Lindform. The inspiration for the Swedish company Lindform comes from the Scandinavian nature with it’s organic tones and simple shapes. Emerged from a moment picking stones on a beautiful beach. The collection also contains influences from Japan, whose minimalist style marries well with the Nordic design. The vases are made in cooperation with Lindform in Thailand by a small family business with 40 years of experience. All products are handmade of lead-free porcelain clay. Every piece is unique in itself. All vases together create a wonderful pebble beach but also each vase separately is of a beautiful simplicity, with or without a flower!

Technique
Mottle or mottling is the appearance of uneven spots. It is commonly used to describe plants or the skin of animals. In plants, mottling usually consists of yellowish spots on plants, and is usually a sign of disease or malnutrition. Many plant viruses cause mottling, some examples being..... In geology, mottled refers to a patchy/blotch texture of alteration or interbedding, commonly found in limestone and commonly caused by bioturbation.
Bioturbation is the reworking of soils and sediments by animals or plants.[1] Its effects include changing texture of sediments (diagenetic), bioirrigation and displacement of microorganisms and non-living particles. NL- Bioturbatie is in de bodemkunde, sedimentologie, limnologie en oceanografie het door elkaar werken en verplaatsen van sediment door organismen (zowel planten als dieren).
Biomimetics or biomimicry is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems
