Eva Hild’s hand-built clay sculptures recall nature as it emerges in the mind’s eye and evoke psychological states. Made of white stoneware clay, WIND is coil-built, finely sanded, fired twice, and evenly coated in matte white paint. The artist’s process is slow, taking up to a year. The title of the work evokes its volumes of empty space as well as the curving planes of its surface. Like a seemingly endless Möbius strip, the planes of the sculpture flow into one another to make a single whole without inside or outside.
