Six, Lies & Videotape
2020
This sculptural vessel combines hand thrown porcelain with metallic embellishment to create an anthropomorphic form that hovers between functional object and imaginative creature. Six elongated tube like protrusions rise from a bulbous base, their tapered tops suggesting both organic appendages and candleholder spouts, while the lower body features densely accreted porcelain ridges that evoke scales, feathers, or layered textile. The work is finished in warm gold luster that catches light across its undulating surface, creating visual movement and depth. The piece exemplifies the Haas Brothers' signature approach of marrying meticulous craft with playful, somewhat surreal forms that challenge conventional distinctions between vessel, sculpture, and functional object.
