The article discusses the sculptures of ceramic artist David East and their exploration of modernist forms. East's works are characterized by clean contours, geometric and biomorphic shapes, monochromatic surfaces, and combinations of organic and inorganic materials. His sculptures engage with the conditioned tendency to perceive the world through a lens calibrated by modern design. East's practice involves borrowing shapes from architectural and interior design magazines and integrating them into his sculptures, creating compositions that evoke early-to-mid-20th-century art and modern architecture. The sculptures are handmade and deliberately irregular, with frothy, undulating glazes. East's work aims to provoke architectural associations and change the way viewers look at familiar forms.
