WingedHand-coiled clay vessels extended by cantilevered slabs — some reaching the ground to form leg-like supports, others held aloft, caught between grounded and airborne. Each piece is built from a single hollow cylinder, then shaped by weight and gesture rather than by a fixed plan, so no two pieces resolve the same way. Fired to a dark, metallic surface, the works read as sculptural objects first and vessels second — structural, upright, with a strong sense of movement even at rest. Suited to freestanding display: a plinth, a console, or a considered floor position where the piece’s negative space and silhouette can be seen in the round.Each piece is entirely unique — no two alike, none repeatable. The glaze is developed to resemble metal, giving the surface unusual weight and permanence. Cracks and marks from the making process are left visible rather than smoothed away, so the surface reads as expressive, almost wounded — the direct trace of pressure, heat, and the material’s own resistance during firing.

Veronika Janovec

Veronika Janovec works with clay as a material in transformation. Informed by her background in architecture, her sculptural practice is concerned with symbolism, structure, proportion and repetition, as well as the ambiguities of material, character and time.Held between fragility and resilience, Janovec’s sculptures resist a single interpretation. They appear at once organic and constructed, protective and vulnerable, intimate and monumental. At the centre of her practice is a search for nature — observed, remembered and imagined — and for forms that seem to belong simultaneously to the body, the landscape and an unknown system of signs.Her forms unfolds as a developing vocabulary of edges, openings and cavities. She searches for the places where a surface turns inward, where an object begins to hold an interior: small rooms, chambers and protected spaces contained within the sculpture. Through abstraction and repetition, the vessel moves beyond utility and becomes a body, a character and a carrier of possible histories. Each sculpture remains open to association: recognisable enough to invite memory, yet unfamiliar enough to resist being fully named.
