Gestures, 2026
Photo mural ceramic plates
Edition of 100, each with a unique photographic image
Created as part of Radical Presence, Gestures is a limited edition series of porcelain plates featuring unique photo mural imagery drawn from the body in fragment—hands, feet, touch, contact, and cropped moments of physical presence. Each plate holds a distinct image, allowing the series to move between intimacy and abstraction, repetition and difference.
Rendered in a brown tonal palette on glazed ceramic, the imagery carries the feeling of a photographic trace: soft, immediate, and bodily. Cropped tightly and isolated within the circular plate form, each gesture becomes its own field of attention—at once personal, symbolic, and quietly charged.
Part object, part image, part edition, Gestures extends the language of Radical Presence into a more intimate scale. The series explores how the body can be suggested through fragments rather than fully shown, and how small acts of touch, tension, devotion, or contact can hold emotional and visual weight.
Each plate is part of an edition of 100, with every image unique to the series.
