Shape Systematics
The Datavase System
'Shape Systematics' is a continuous series of hand drawings, taking the 'Datavase System' (see below) as its point of departure. Each drawing reflects both the entire database, as well as a single datavase possibility pushing through the multitude of other possibilities.
The development of the 'Datavase System' started with the discovery of an image published by the U.S. National Museum entitled ‘History of Vase’. This image represents the history of the vase, from prehistoric times to the present, in 27 forms. The Datavase System is hence based on these existing models, exploring universalizability of ceramic form and its limits, while also functioning as a database providing an endless number of solutions and templates for turning new form on the pottery wheel.
