Alexandra Coroneo

Ceramics

A little bit more about

Alexandra Coroneo

Acorn Ceramics is the art of Alexandra Coroneo, an architect and ceramic artist working on Birrabirragal country. Her architectural background influences her work as much as the organic forms of Australian geology and flora. The rub between architectural minimalism and biomorphic forms lends itself to a combination of wheel-thrown and hand-building techniques. Her works are functional in nature, which is driven by a desire to insert design, joy and beauty into the everyday ceremony of meals, be they shared or otherwise.

"Clay is the most wonderous and instantly responsive material I work with in my design practice. Its tactility, its weight in the hand, the way it can assist our everyday lives whilst also catching light and creating sculptural forms is delightful to me. The material, even undecorated, has been a pillar of our societies for so long, and it is a joy to see my art being used in the communities of the home."
