Wheel thrown raku whispering globe
One of Hungarian ceramist Ildiko Karolyi’s unique creations. Each Whispering Globe is a special gift wrap for delivering wishes. They preserve all the whispered wishes and release them to the loved ones. Every piece is a distinct universe, a unique gift.
“The contrast between the irregularity of the raw, natural surfaces – wabi – and the geometric ornamentation or the timeless proportions of the pure spherical form – sabi – creates the powerful, unrepeatable, sometimes perplexing beauty of my pieces.
My works have been exhibited in Hungary, Spain, Italy and Croatia, and decorate homes from Canada to Taiwan, from Norway to Monaco.”
“My aim is to create lovable, usable, high-quality ceramic objects that provide a wide range of visual and tactile experiences. My creative process consists of constant, focused, yet in some aspects instinctive experimentation with materials, shapes and surfaces. My goal is to capture beauty. This process is an intuitive search for harmony, a quest for delight. Objects born in my hands are imprints of the inner paths of this explorer-researcher-observer mind.”
Ildikó Károlyi
I make ceramic objects. My personal aim is to create lovable, usable, high-quality pieces that provide a wide range of visual and tactile experiences, objects that can decorate both 21st century homes and public spaces.
My creative process consists of constant, focused, yet in some aspects instinctive experimentation with materials, shapes and surfaces. As a ceramist my goal is to capture beauty. This process is an intuitive search for harmony, a quest for delight. Objects born in my hands are imprints of the inner paths of this explorer-researcher-observer mind.
I’ve been making Whispering Globes – tangible universes – for about four years now. With my globes I mean to recall the first use of clay by humans. They ask to be picked up by two hands, they are ergonomic in their roundness and also celebrate the uniquely variable tactile decorative capabilities of our medium. Whispering Globes have a real sense of heritage and yet they are something completely new.
