Small Paperbark Vase 

Size 40 cm

Minna Graham’s work draws deeply from the raw, untamed elements of the natural world, exploring how nature’s chaotic beauty evokes profound human emotions. Her artistic process is experimental and intuitive, pushing the boundaries of traditional ceramics. Through carving, tearing, and stretching clay, she mirrors the turbulence and unpredictability of nature. Textural contrasts, achieved with ash, slips, pigments, and glazes, further emphasize the wildness she seeks to capture.

Minna’s sculptural vessels embody an “emotional landscape,” reflecting nature’s grandeur and disorder. Each piece invites viewers to connect with its tactile qualities and themes of wildness, encouraging contemplation of humanity's relationship with the natural world. By translating the spirit of nature into tangible forms, Minna’s work captures both its beauty and its menace, inspiring profound emotional engagement.
