FLYING GARDEN II

Zsolt Jozsef Simon is a Hungarian ceramic artist, who figuratively and literally needs movement to help his materials find their natural form in order to create his sculptures. The technique Simon employs is an advanced development of slip casting. He intentionally lets the slip escape between the pieces of a mold. This enables him to create fascinating—some would even say otherworldly—effects between the inside and outside of the objects that he makes. The command of his medium and material is such that he has already visualized the result before he initiates his process.
