Pillar of Ties - Totem

A pillar reworked in clay. The reference is structural — the column that carries a roof — but this one carries nothing. It holds light, and a place to pause.

Built in parts, as our totems are: stoneware forms stacked in sequence over a mild steel base and pipe, partially finished in our signature in-house claypaste, with wood introduced through the body as a second material.

A recessed space at the centre takes a diya, a candle, incense, or a few stems. The piece is meant to be used, not only looked at.

At seven feet it is among the tallest work we make. Old traditional indian forms, new voices — a pillar that belongs to a room rather than holds it up.

Handmade to order.
