Peled creates (or rather, smashes) these porcelain shards herself, using a slab roller. “I make sheets of clay, fire them, and smash them into pieces with a hammer,” she explained in an interview with CFile. “I love playing with the idea of the texture and the form can look airy, delicate, light and fluffy and to give a sense of flutter, as if my breath would break it. Yet, the hard and sharp shards can be seen as round and moving, and give a sense of softness.”

Through these deconstructed-to-be-constructed pieces, Peled aims to examine the beauty and brutality that can be found within the natural world. According to Peled, her creative process is also consistent with the Kabbalah concepts of Shevirah (breaking) and Tikkun (mending). “I make, then break, then make again. Chaos, destruction, and decay are intense and necessary creative process for me to create each of my sculptures,” she says.

Born and raised in Israel, her work has been exhibited internationally at venues like Sotheby’s, Saatchi Gallery (London), and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City). She has also been featured in publications like Vogue, O Magazine, and Elle. But you can follow her creative endeavors also on Instagram.

According to her, this process is long and involved, requiring both planning and improvisation. But the result is wholly worth it: ceramic vessels that take after organic forms, reminding in their texture and shape of a coral reef.

“Sea creatures and weather formations, fabric folds and textile richness or historic ceramic techniques all come together to inspire the form and texture of the work,” reads her website.

Firing the clay twice allows Tavill the addition of delicate glazing work and the melting of glass frit (crushed glass) for additional surface interest. Those are inspired by the textures and shapes she finds in nature, close at home or when traveling elsewhere.

Her coral-like sculptures can be seen around the United States, or on her Instagram page. Take a look at some of her work in the gallery below:
