Micaela Schoop
Micaela Schoop applies meticulously hand-painted surface decorations to vessels and hand-built organic sculptures. She draws her decorative inspiration from various global sources including ethnic pattern traditions and historical ceramics. By sensitively fusing these patterns and pottery styles she questions assumptions about cultural identities, boundaries and belonging. The addition of various visual communication systems, such as morse code and QR codes, allows her to explore ideas relating to human communication and use them to reflect and comment on current issues.
