Lisa Thissen is a dynamic designer and ceramicist based in Amsterdam. Driven by a deep-rooted passion for pottery and working with her hands, she has embraced clay as her primary medium.
Exhibition Statement Buildings’ are one-of-a-kind clay objects that embody the artists fascination with urban landscapes and brutalist architecture. Inspired by the gritty charm of apartment buildings and neighbourhoods in cities like Berlin and Cairo, Lisa’s latest series ‘Big City Life’, marks the third release in the Buildings collection and the first to feature clustered structures, forming intricate cityscapes with rooftop terraces and staircases.
Handcrafted without templates or moulds, each piece in the series stands out for its distinct glazing techniques and the emotions captured during its creation.
