Jumana Manna

Jumana Manna Work from Break, Take, Erase, Tally. “This ongoing series of ceramic sculptures explores a tension between preservation and ruination. Their forms draw from the khabya, a once common structure for grain storage in rural houses across the Levant. Built into homes, the khabya–which means “the thing that hides” in Arabic–would preserve the annual […]

Katleen Vinck

Katleen Vinck Work from her oeuvre.

Nicolas Moulin

Nicolas Moulin Work from Steppterminal. “Steppterminal was conceived as an ensemble of hybrids between architectural fragment and autonomous sculpture.

A brand new work, “Collar (Pagoda),” appears to be the enlarged version of a clerical […]
