Paper-Thin Porcelain Works by Mark Goudy Balance on Folds Inspired by Origami — Colossal

Mark Goudy, a Berkeley-based ceramicist, finds inspiration in the art of origami for his ongoing series of sculptures. Describing his work as “minimal forms with hidden complexity,” Goudy creates elegant pieces that reflect nature’s geometries.

With a background in 3D graphics hardware design engineering, Goudy merges form and function in his meticulous sculptures. Using algorithmic 3D software, he designs objects that pay homage to the intricate folds of Japanese paper folding. These forms are carefully balanced to rock back and forth when placed on a flat surface, naturally finding their point of equilibrium.

Goudy creates his sculptures using thin, translucent slipcast pieces made from black or white bisque-fired clay. Occasionally, he adds color by painting metallic salt watercolors directly onto the surface. The pigments interact with the clay during the drying process, highlighting the folds and ridges of the forms.

Using only three metal salt pigments—gold, cobalt, and chromium—Goudy achieves a range of colors, including shades of red, blue, and green. He particularly enjoys working with cobalt blue, which he sees as a reference to the blue of water and distance. He considers his objects as vessels for light and atmosphere.

Goudy’s work will be featured in the 63rd Faenza Prize for the International Biennial of Contemporary Ceramic Art in Faenza, Italy, from June 28 to November 30. To see more of his work, visit his website and follow him on Instagram.
