Memories of my Italian Lover

John Bauer is a well-known ceramicist and materials engineer, is recognised worldwide for his cutting-edge developments in porcelain production. His focus is not on negative impressions but positive ‘expressions.’

Bauer captures the essence of an age long past, inspired by the pieces of forgotten civilisations. He finds himself moved time and again by the contributions made by ancient crafts peoples to the society of today.

He makes use of rare coins, carvings, lace, and organic substances, referencing technologies of the past as well as archiving for the future.
