Sasa Scheiner ‘OVERFLOW’

Sasa’s work has steadily evolved over the years with a refinement and an elegance that is pared back and free of artifice. The shapes are simple with a mix of perfectly balanced vulnerability and strength. Sasa’s signature ash glazing and the actual weight of the hand-coiled pieces further add to this play. The forms have a bodily human quality – the natural imperfections and subtle shifts in colour sweep across the surface, reminiscent of skin. The way these beautiful sculptural pieces are made communicate their solidity and unapologetic power.

All the pieces for ‘OVERFLOW’ are imbued with a feminine power – in their form and feel. These works were made at the time of Sasa becoming a grandmother. The overwhelming outpouring and receiving of love – the flow- is what is felt. The widening of the openings of these vessels suggests a greater capacity for and experience of the movement and flow of love and life between all beings and generations. At this moment of Sasa’s journey as an artist and as a mother and grandmother the works are expressions of Sasa’s inner and outer world. Simple yet profound.
