Ceramicist Leah Jensen replicates the hidden geometry of Renaissance paintings in her work, charting the relationship between mathematics and art. To achieve this, she uses a pattern-mapping technique whereby the structure of the painting is revealed through pinning each angle onto the pot's surface.
This pot takes its name and geometric structure — which dictates the form of Jensen's intricate honeycomb patterning — from Leonardo da Vinci's The Annunciation. Precise and clean-lined, the pot is finished to deliberately echo machine-made quality (an aesthetic she has named anti-digital) and forms part of Jensen's first solo exhibition with The New Craftsmen, which will take place during London Craft Week (3-7 May).
