Floating

This parabola-shaped vessel is made from slip-cast Limoges porcelain. The slip is left in the plaster mould for about one minute, resulting in a 2mm-thick wall. The surface of the bowl is then heated with a gas burner, which causes immediate evaporation. Small, glowing porcelain shreds fly off the surface. This process is repeated, layer by layer, until the wall is perforated or almost perforated in places, giving it a wafer-like thinness and translucency.
