Dirk Staschke

The fantastical, masterfully-crafted works of this renowned ceramicist and sculptor present a beautiful facade and coarse structural reality in one. 

Staschke says of his work, "I make sculptures based on paintings in what is traditionally considered a craft medium. In this translation, the sculptural representation of still life painting creates abstract forms. The results are beautifully made objects that simultaneously expose the crude structures of their creation."
