Velvet Swan
Velvet Swan evokes tactile softness through the hardness of ceramic, demonstrating the evocative power of sculpture. This work from 2024 (31x19x15cm) in stoneware with glaze creates the illusion of a velvety surface despite the mineral nature of the material. The title suggests a texture that the eye perceives even before the hand confirms the hard reality of the sandstone. The matte glaze chosen by Hanna Heino reinforces this impression of softness, absorbing light rather than reflecting it. The stylized shape of the swan maintains the balance between figuration and abstraction, characteristic of the artist's work. The medium dimensions allow for an intimacy of observation that invites prolonged contemplation. Velvet Swan embodies the ability of art ceramics to transcend its physical properties to evoke contradictory sensations.
