Machi de Waard

Machi’s work is informed by the visual language of twentieth century modern art. Distilling the abstract forms and clean lines of modern art into her own self-imposed limited palette, Machi’s work focuses on visually and physically strong shapes, such as circles. She finds creativity through restraint, making iterations of her chosen shapes and varying details.

Machi has a drive towards design that is clean and crisp combined with a desire to continue to push craftsmanship to higher levels. But it’s not all serious: a lightness of touch is present; perhaps an unexpected detail, a spot of optical illusion or a miniature scale to invite approachability.

Although Machi’s work uses quite a formal visual language, there’s an edge of playfulness that entices the viewer to come closer. Her handmade pieces invite the viewer to handle them, feel their weight, touch their edges and explore their details.
