Alana Salcer
Alana Lauren Ceramics are inspired by geology, wild flora, artifacts and ecofacts that one lucky explorer might find and treasure. My jewelry pieces are one of a kind and have a subtle, earthy elegance that compliments any outfit. I love the idea of combining living plants with vessels that celebrate these fascinating natural forms that nourish our bodies.
I draw my inspiration for ceramics from nature's formations and decay. On long walks through the catskill mountains, the shores of the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean or my local park in Brooklyn, I collect lichen, wild plants, shells and rocks to immortalize in porcelain fossils. The unpredictable nature of clay, glaze and minerals in a high fire kiln provides the perfect environment for the exploration of organic forms and textures.
