Eyvind Solli Andreassen

Eyvind Solli born in Porsgrunn and based in Oslo. “Coming from a background as a trained sheet metal worker I have worked with fire before, but never within the field of ceramics, though it’s been a curiosity for a long time coming. My focus lies within the coiling technique which highlights an ancient way of crafting vessels while also allowing the coils to shine as an artistic expression and not merely as a construction technique. I feel like we all are always slightly out of balance whether physically or mentally and I transfer fragments of this from myself into every object. The point of balance highlights our own fragility and draws a line back to the ceramic material aspiring for others to relate to the object and causing viewers to confront their own instabilities no matter how fleeting they may be.”
