C-lective Curator’s Cut:

This collection of five hand-carved vases offers a refreshing departure from Evan Hobart’s sculptural work, bringing together his interest in form with the possibilities of functional ceramics. Each vessel was fired in a salt kiln, where the heat, atmosphere, and interaction with Evan’s washes and glazes create distinctive surface textures and colors. Some lean a little, while others emerge with smoother finishes, reflecting the beautiful unpredictability of the firing process. Each piece feels like a small discovery, balancing the spontaneity of the kiln with Evan’s thoughtful hand. Whether filled with flowers, shared around a table, or simply enjoyed as sculptural objects, these vases invite us to appreciate the beauty of things made to be both used and lived with.
