MATI CERAMICS

MATI CERAMICS

Athena Sarracini is an artist and writer of Greek heritage. Her ceramics reference the palette, shapes and motifs she grew up with; the blues of the Aegean Sea and the stark minimalism of Cycladic architecture. Evil eyes, spirals, and the wave motif appear frequently in her ceramics. Exaggerated proportions, asymmetrical handles, and whimsical surface decoration all bring a sense of play to her work. Each piece is hand-built. coiled and pinched in her attic studio in downtown Toronto, and no two are the same.
