If you're interested in cerámica artesanal and the latest en diseño de objetos, feel free to reach out at ditacossio@gmail.com. I specialize in experimental porcelain techniques and fabric porcelain, exploring diversas técnicas de cerámica to create unique pieces.
My practice emerges from the interrelation of two crafts: ceramics and sewing, particularly through the lens of cerámica artesanal. By merging these disciplines, I explore how textile construction can be translated into ceramic form, specifically in my design de objetos.
I work with experimental porcelain, but begin with textiles: hand-stitched and padded leather molds that behave like skin. These soft forms receive liquid clay, absorbing the tensions, seams, and folds of the textile. Through weight, gravity, and time, each mold compresses and reshapes the fabric porcelain within until fire fixes it into permanence.
This process is not only sculptural, but corporeal. It involves pressure, breath, and resistance. The gestures of sewing, pouring, binding, and releasing are physical acts that leave their imprint on the final object. In this sense, my pieces are not representations of bodies, but bodies in themselves: compressed, marked, bearing the memory of a skin that once held them.
I see my work as a search for harmonic and delicate forms, where disciplines dissolve and materials behave as bodies: absorbing gesture, holding memory, and undergoing metamorphosis through técnicas de cerámica.
Through this lens, ceramics becomes more than matter; it becomes skin, archive, and vessel.
