Contemporary moon jar or vase by Canadian artist Sasha Court. Titled 'trying trying trying.' Signed on the underside.
Sasha Court was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She studied math and engineering at Dalhousie University and spent the last two decades building a corporate career in the tech industry before turning her attention full time to her ceramics practice. She exclusively hand builds her vessels with stoneware using the coil building technique from the bottom up. She uses voluminous forms as a canvas, experimenting with glaze techniques that embrace colour, texture, and the beautiful imperfection of the hand building process. Sasha works intuitively in order to invite her spiritual consciousness into each vessel she creates. She is working diligently to use her art as a practice of spiritual evolution in the great battle for freedom from ego. Sasha has shown her work in the September 2023 edition of the1000 Vases exhibition in Paris, France and more recently in a group show with Rhett Baruch Gallery in Los Angeles in May, 2024.
Artist Statement: "The intention of my work is to explore the tension of opposites that exist within us and around us. My work aims to visually present the duality of what it means to be human, to be alive. I intend to capture the awe at once with the ache, the beauty at once with the crushing sadness of inevitable endings. The idea that love is pain and there is a beautiful ache that comes with loving and living in our humanness. I also like to explore themes of seduction and beauty - both the seen and unseen. My work aims to help me get closer to understanding the importance of beauty in our lives. I am devoted to the impossible quest of answering the question - what is beautiful and why does it matter?"
