Zurich based ceramicist Marea Hildebrand has a background in painting and textiles. The balance she achieves between precariously small bases and rotund forms expresses her desire to create works that hold space, and have presence, while still expressing fragility. Sculpting for Marea is a means to rediscover stillness, and her ceramics are created through a slow process of coiling, hand building and intricate mark making. The unique surfaces of her pots emerge from a multi-firing technique and countless hours of painting and etching rhythmic patterns, creating one-of-a-kind pieces. We are delighted to represent her here in Scotland.
