Elif Uras

polychrome underglaze on quartz, in two parts

A voluptuous marble form is brought to life through richly layered polychrome underglazes, their vibrant hues pooling and cascading across the stone's curved surface in two distinct yet harmonious sections. Elif Uras merges the ancient weight of marble with the fluid intimacy of ceramic tradition, creating a tension between the rigid permanence of the material and the soft, gestural quality of the glaze. The work invites the eye to move between its two parts, tracing the interplay of color and form as they echo and respond to one another.
