‘Digital metamorphosis’ centres around a fundamental question: Does technology kill craftsmanship? By experimenting with porcelain and a laser cutter I have developed a novel technique that showcases the dialogue between material and technology. I use the laser cutter to engrave geometric shapes onto the porcelain. During the high-firing, those shapes resist movement while the rest of the body shrinks around them. This internal conflict generates intense physical tension, completely transforming the final piece. Strict lines become waves, geometric shapes become organic and distortion becomes a medium that allows the tactile and the digital to meet as equals.
