Just Beyond The Open Door

In her new collection, Sasha Court approaches ceramics as a meditation on form, feeling, and presence. Each vessel emerges through a quiet, intuitive process, guided by rhythm, attention, and a search for harmony between shape and surface. Soft contours meet matte, textured finishes, while structural weight is balanced by subtle imperfections, creating objects that hold both volume and emotional resonance. Finger marks, asymmetries, and warps are intentionally preserved, allowing the traces of making to remain visible as evidence of care, presence, and human touch.

Court’s work dwells in dualities—strength and fragility, clarity and ambiguity, containment and release—inviting viewers into a slow, intimate encounter. The vessels do not demand immediate understanding; instead, they encourage closeness, contemplation, and touch. In their stillness, they offer a space for feeling and reflection, exploring beauty as a form of truth. Through these quiet companions, Court presents an offering: a chance to remain open, present, and receptive in a world that often asks us to close.
