Artists employ layering and stacking techniques to craft modular porcelain sculptures, merging precision with creativity. By building individual porcelain components—often hand-shaped or cast—they assemble intricate structures through systematic layering. Each layer is carefully dried and fired to ensure stability, while stacking allows for dynamic forms, from geometric patterns to organic shapes.
The process begins with designing modular units, which are then layered to create depth or stacked vertically for height. Artists may use slip, scoring, or adhesives to bond pieces, ensuring structural integrity. Glazing between layers adds visual complexity, with translucent porcelain enhancing light interplay.
This method balances tradition and innovation, enabling artists to experiment with scale and texture. The result is a harmonious blend of fragility and strength, showcasing porcelain’s versatility in contemporary sculpture.
