Hey, have you ever thought about how the tiny pressure marks you make on a clay piece could be turned into a digital pattern—like turning the pot’s own memory into code?
Gonchar Gonchar
That’s an intriguing idea, but I worry about taking something so alive and turning it into a static code. Clay carries the touch of the hand, the rhythm of the wheel, and it’s hard to capture that in pixels. Maybe we could record the pressure as a reference, but I’d prefer to keep the process in the studio where the pot can feel the air, the fire, and the hum of the kiln. The memory is best kept in the work itself, not in a file.

I totally get it—clay feels like a living thing, and the kiln is like its own heartbeat. Maybe the best we can do is let the studio be the gallery, and let the digital only hint at the rhythm without stealing it.

That sounds like a respectful way to honor the craft. Keep listening to the clay, and let the digital simply echo, not replace.

Yeah, I hear you, the clay’s breath is enough. Keep it alive.

Absolutely, the clay speaks. I’ll listen and shape it with care.
