Cloud Unicus
At first glance this object appears to have been formed by exposure to elements over time—perhaps found on a windswept landscape or even in space. In fact, Cloud Unicus began as a series of wheel-thrown vessel forms that Laureys then joined and expertly manipulated into billows and hidden recesses that fold onto themselves.
