The factory is known for its enamel-coated cast iron sinks and bathtubs, the fabrication of which is a trade secret developed over two centuries. “Alluvium” is a series of decorative bowls that are made of enamel-coated, sand-cast iron. With the help of professional staff on the factory floor, I explored the methods and special techniques that distinguish Kohler’s process. Taking inspiration from the way water streams through Kohler’s products, I used water in this project to create a unique, natural pattern, by sifting a second coat of enamel powder on the surface, and dribbling water to create artificial streams that carry away the enamel grains. The bowls are then heated for the final time to affix the pattern of trickling channels and tributaries. The result is a combination of my prior experience in enamelwork with Kohler’s technology in a way that expands the boundaries of the process and its possibilities.

These glass ‘puddles’ tell the story of a liquid solidifying into choreographed, organic shapes. The colours overlap and intermix due to the translucent nature of the material, demonstrating the pouring process and emphasizing the optic qualities of glass. The sphere and the base create a scene, a snapshot of something as it is forming. This captures the moment when glass transitions from an epic, violent gushing liquid to a tamed yet inherently fragile shape.

This process alters traditional glass blowing methods and adds new interpretations to the craft. The glass ‘puddles’ in various colours tell the story of a liquid solidifying into choreographed, organic shapes. The colours overlap and intermix due to the translucent nature of the material, demonstrating the pouring process and emphasizing the optic qualities of glass.

This has a great effect on the way we choose kitchen tools and how we display them. A tool can then become a decorative object as well, thereby questioning the way we perceive function and form. These citrus squeezers are made of glass with multiple colours, revealed by cold-working to “peel off” the layers, much like the fruit it squeezes. The inner bubble makes it lighter and easier to hold, and the outer layer is sand-blasted for better grip. *A limited edition of the Citrus Squeezers project.

Initially my intention was to collect varieties of sand from a unique geological feature in the desert where I grew up. I reminisced about a childhood experience where we’d fill old glass bottles with layers of coloured sand to resemble the crater’s stratified earth. However, I found out that the site is now a reservation prohibiting soil collection, in part because of its archeological importance. In contemplating the dwindling of natural resources, I considered how natural elements can be crafted. I fused layers of glass powder using ceramic moulds, inspired by the glass bottles of my childhood. This produces objects that evoke futuristic artificial elements of nature and the processes of natural formation.
