Studio
Cym Warkov is a ceramicist who approaches every piece as an organic collaboration between herself and the materials. Her work features timeless silhouettes and a belief that there is elegance in simplicity and beauty in imperfection.
Stillness and movement are equally reflected in each hand-made vessel with textured, sculptural forms born from this conversation between Cym and the piece. The result is a body of work with intuitive authenticity and sensual modernity.
Cym Warkov creates pieces that explore the tension between imagination and construction. That invite conversation between the artist and the element.
