Antiguo draws its spirit from driftwood gathered along the windswept shores of Montecito, California—where time, salt, and tide slowly sculpt what once lived into something elemental. This heavily textured ceramic form is not a reproduction, but a response. A reimagining of the quiet erosion that takes place over seasons, decades, lifetimes.

Every mark on the surface is a record of transformation—gouged, scraped, and layered with intention. Its form curves like a relic pulled from the sea, evoking both motion and stillness, as if it carries the memory of being weathered by waves. Though clay, it speaks the language of wood, of stone, of things reshaped by nature’s slow persistence.

Antiguo is a meditation on impermanence—on what remains as the rest falls away. It honors the dignity of decay, where beauty isn’t lost in the breaking down, but revealed through it. A vessel of memory, shaped by the forces that undo and remake us all.
