Marga Knaven

“Because of the great difficulty technique, creating an innovative and contemporary language that plays with balance between concept and aesthetics.”

I began as a ceramicist because I was captivated by porcelain. The fragile beauty and long history of this material inspired me to explore the limits of this special clay.

After a while, I learned to melt extremely thin sheets which, once dry, I would fold, cover without pressing, and leave in a room, seemingly at random.
My work revolves around the act: the act of folding.
