Ceres - Incense Burners
2024
Collaboration with Pilo Marimón (Sweden)
A series of handmade stoneware incense burners, each stamped, each unique.
Approximate size: H 12–16 cm × W ~7 cm (each unique)
Ceres is a project developed across distance, shaped through shared rhythms of making over time. The name echoes seres (beings) in Spanish and nods to the dwarf planet between Mars and Jupiter, used as a marker of distance rather than symbolism. The work exists as an object of use, becoming complete only through practice.

The Collaboration
The project began through shared sketches and ongoing exchange across time zones.
Design and form were developed through dialogue, with the ceramic work interpreted and built by hand in Lund, Sweden.
Rather than standardisation, the process allowed variation to remain visible across the series.
Work in Progress
The forms originated as drawings and were developed through iterative testing before being translated into clay.
This first run reflects an early material stage of the project, with each piece carrying subtle variations in surface and proportion.
The series continues and will evolve through future iterations.
