If Salgado’s paintings extend literature, Goudy’s ceramics are a precise calculation of physics and nature. His Origami series draws inspiration from paper art but pushes porcelain to its limits. Each piece is less than a millimeter thick yet finds equilibrium through folded structures, gently swaying before settling back into place. “They resemble geometric forms in nature—simple yet complex,” Goudy explains.

A former 3D graphics engineer, Goudy’s background shapes his process. He designs models using algorithmic software before firing them in white or black porcelain. The colors come from metallic salts—cobalt, gold, and chromium pigments diffuse across the unglazed surface, creating gradients. “The salts flow through the clay’s pores, gathering at the edges to highlight the folds,” he says. This technique makes each piece unique, like vessels pierced by light.

Goudy particularly favors cobalt blue for its evocation of “water’s depth and the elusiveness of distance.” His works, though static, imply motion and transformation, mirroring nature’s delicate balance between stability and flux.
