Dating: 2025 christina muff handcrafts her clay sculptures using techniques such as slab building and coiling. Large surfaces of clay are slowly shaped into detailed sculptures with complex, naturalistic forms. It is a time-consuming process, as the sculptures—due to their size—require a long drying period before being fired, often multiple times, to achieve the desired texture and color. During the glazing process, she uses a variety of techniques in combination with natural materials such as sand, chalk, and locally dug clay from denmark. The goal is to create textures and surfaces that resemble man-made objects reclaimed by nature.
