Edgar Orlaineta has worked extensively with wood. One of the techniques that he has developed the most is lathe, with which he has concentrated on making essential forms, almost archetypal, that evoke ‘use’, thus linking them to the utilitarian in a symbolic and referential way. Their size and shape reference to bowls or pots or bases. In this ceramic series, Orlaineta uses the same shapes, executing a transversal cut in each one that produces position and frontality; this frontality inevitably evokes a face, a facet, or a faction. This new fully functional series invites us to compose and decompose; a simple cut of the object, originally symmetrical, creates infinite variations of shapes and positions.
