‘Emaranhamento’ or ‘entanglement’ is like two beings suspended in a dialogue. Linking it, a web of strands stretches across space, suggesting both the tension and tenderness of entanglement — the invisible pull that exists between bodies, objects and lives. They appear separate and yet are linked, each shaped by the presence of the other, bound in a field of connection.

Each vessel is handcrafted with the use of a lathe, Dremel, and pyrography machine to manipulate forms, textures, and tones, capturing a state of material transition. Using mostly naturally fallen trees, each piece of wood has been sourced within five miles of the maker’s workshop at Cockpit Detpford.

Radiating circles are skilfully adorned with hand-crocheted stitches of purest silver less than a milimetre thick. With gentle patience and time, soaring curves rise from the practiced movements of hand and hook, stitch by tiny stitch. A single off-centre circle, picked out in gold, playfully interrupts the repeated rhythm. In fluid motion, pinpoints of light dance across richly intricate surfaces, breathing them to life.
Museum & Art Swindon, Korea Ceramic Foundation (South Korea)
Thunder, rain, and storm clouds are captured in clay and transformed with consideration of the glazed surface. These hand built ceramic forms gradually change as the weather shifts, developing interstices, surface blooms, and subtle colour changes.
Eastman’s work imagines ceramics not as static objects, but as living climate responsive formations, deeply connected to the ecosystems that surround them.
