flower chalice, 2023

JENNEFER HOFFMANN

Jennefer Hoffmann’s sculptural works are intimate, nuanced, and thought-provoking expressions of the artist’s personal interiority as well as shrewd demonstrations of her innate technical prowess. As “landscapes of memory”, the sculptures reflect the complex human desire to encapsulate a feeling into a tangible artifact – whether fleeting or one that lasts.

flower chalice is a delightful vessel with rich ochre and cornflower glazed hues, textural elements and a flower-like shape. Beginning with clay slabs, she pinches the forms using her hands, and as she observes, the process of pinching, “became my primary language over the years.”
