Laurin Schaub is interested in exploring the landscape of the tabletop referencing the symbolic and narrative found within historic table settings. His are everyday objects – Vases, bowls and plates – made of porcelain. They are individually shaped with different surface techniques and then sanded or glazed. Some are worked with a special surface technique with pigments or glazes, others are made from a specially prepared porcelain body. Laurin’s vessels remains classic; foot, body, lip and opening. The surface are reminiscent of building materials such as artificial stone, marble and asphalt. The work often is presented as a group and the relationships between the pieces are as important as the pieces themselves.
