This Snowbound Pottery custom sink differs greatly from the typical washbasins that you will have seen in catalogs and home fixture showrooms. Unlike them, this bathroom bowl does not embody the symmetry and the smoothness that are often sought after to express cleanliness and serenity of form.
Interestingly, while Anna Kasabian's design is remarkably irregular in shape and in texture, the piece does not exude the disorderly impression that you might expect from its description. Made from porcelain, the artist seems to have begun with a flat piece of material before splitting and folding the edges into delicate curls of different depths and dimensions. Consequently, the bumpy-textured Snowbound Pottery custom sink comes to reference the beautiful organic forms of white-capped ocean waves and parched flower petals.
