desa philippi makes functional ceramics in porcelain, and all her work is thrown on the potter’s wheel. ideas are developed across different media, from 2D to 3D back and forth. text and writing are recurrent themes in her work. in many ways the history and development of writing is inseparable from the history of ceramics, but she also considers different formats and techniques of inscription – lines, labels, stamps, embossing – and plays with the many possibilities of these processes. Her pots are informed by modernist art and design, especially constructivism abd the Bauhaus. more immediately, the urban environment she lives in and also impressions of her travels find their ways into the colours, textures and shapes of her work. All her pots are fired in an electric kiln to 1240 degrees C.
