Signature porcelain artworks


Antoinette creates wheel thrown and hand built porcelain objects. Her signature sculpted vessels are included in public and private collections around the world and is often compared with the work of Georgia O'Keefe. 

Antoinette get inspired by life itself as it is set in motion in nature. Energy is all around us. It is an energy that keep things in motion and that make things grow.  It touch our senses and emotions and influence our lives in ways that we are often unaware of.

The obvious come and go around; every second of our day, every moment of our lives. As one season peeks, the other begins to form and  while babies are born, people get old and die. Raindrops become water streams, finding its way across the earth, ice up, melt and soak away or evaporate in the air and form moving clouds again.

People talk and sing and dance. They're happy and sad. They live, they love, they hate and they hope for things to happen.  Through all of this life keeps on moving.

A bird in flight, a swimming fish and a galloping giraffe a road to nowhere and music notes. Laughing people that break the silence.  Energy motivates and inspires me to create  porcelain art. 

In the creative process lays movement and when it finally moves from my hand to yours, I transfer the energy represented in the artwork to your hands. 
Antoinette starts the process out with hollow objects, which are either formed on the wheel, or by hand. She then cut out parts of the object and replaces it with alternative clay techniques which are either slabs, coils or pinched clay. 
The pieces are mostly elevated on an eloquent base. Depending on the design, it can be viewed from all sides, or be displayed against a wall. Most of these bowls are suitable to add atmosphere with tea candles in it, or with a focus a light from above inside the bowl.
Sculpted porcelain envelopes are created from 2 slab shells that are joined to form a hollow bowl. Antoinette will alter these by removing and replacing slabs, coils or pinched parts. These envelopes are elevated on a wheel-thrown or hand built  pedestal. By balancing these artworks carefully between the eloquent pedestal and the larger bowl, Antoinette make sure the work will not topple over. These pieces are best displayed on a mantle piece, window sill or inside a lit cabinet. 
​Most of these bowls are suitable to add atmosphere with a focus a light from above inside the bowl. 
Antoinette forms her plates in many ways and with many techniques. Her wall sculptures are formed from a basic shape which she alters and carves until the design pops away from the wall. Whether these plates are built from slabs, created in a press mold or on the pottery wheel, it is always finished in a way that the observer do not know which technique is used. Her plates are lightweight and will hang well against the wall. 
Antoinette creates abstract sculptures. There are always a base with either one or more  translucent bowls or translucent elements situated on the base. 
The base is forms organically from either slabs or other techniques. 
The artist enjoy Christmas for various reasons. One of these reasons is the atmosphere that goes along with the winter season. Antoinette chooses a new theme every year. Themes that is dear to her heart is her new country, the USA  for the past 25 years, her family, her home, nature, her heritage, her Christian faith, love, hope, and peace. She would often choose a theme indirectly, for instance the theme of the swallow ( representing  Joy and Happiness, will be the theme for 2024. 
The Remembrance Figurines flows from Antoinettes heritage in Southern Africa. Growing up, blankets wrapped around people was a natural sight. She describes it in this  blog post. These figurines represent Courage, Hope and Love; "We Blanket One Another"

Functional porcelain

The functional porcelain objects made by Antoinette replicate Fine China, but is fully handmade from porcelain clay and NOT from Bone China, either on the pottery wheel or by one of the hand building techniques that she uses. Functional work is mostly translucent, lightweight, microwave safe (if it does not have gold or silver trimming) and dishwasher safe.   
She continues the signature designs she use in her sculpted work in carving on her functional work. 
Antoinette love her mugs. She mostly throws them on the pottery wheel and sometimes she will alter the design. Most of her cups are suitable for coffee, tea or chocolate. She also create beer steins. The Mugs, cups, tumblers or steins are lightweight with well balanced handles where needed. It is measured by an estimated Fl. oz. 
All households uses bowls. When they are well-made, microwave and dishwasher safe and lightweight, it is so much easier to use. 
Antoinette creates an assortment of plates, which she either throw on the pottery wheel, or press mold in one of her handmade press molds. These press molds offer a variety of shapes and forms, suitable for serving plates, dinner plates, salad plates etc. There are also smaller plates which are suitable in many places in the household; from ring holders to small snack plates. 
Sometimes Antoinette enjoy the simplicity of a well-formed dish. These dishes are highly functional and used to serve salad or other food in. She loves a good fruit bowl. Some are too large to throw effectively on the pottery wheel, so she drape thin clay over a hump mold.
