London, April 2026
Shared Streams Ceramics will be shown at the “Conflueneces” exhibition for Personal Structures during Venice Biennale, from 9 May to 22 November 2026. Three pieces will be exhibited: Trap vessel, Marine vase and Streams vase, all handmade by Bohinc in stoneware ceramics.
Bohinc started exploring ceramics in September 2024 at Rochester Square Workshop in London. The initial idea was to produce unique hand made pieces that were not drawn or based on a design or a form, but instead the material would speak for itself, dictating its own final outcome.
Bohinc soon learned that clay has a life of its own. It is one of the most unpredictable materials, it is almost alive as it keeps changing with the weather and season. This impermanence produced a desire to capture this movement, which inspired body of work titled Sheared Streams.
Shared Streams is about capturing the movement of matter frozen in time. It focuses on materials and forms that suggest flow, melting, folding, and transformation, states of flux rather than ultimate resolution. Fabric, water, wax, metal, and stone appear arrested mid motion, caught between solid and liquid, growth and decay. Across the body of work, material behaves as if alive: folding, sagging, swelling, dripping, or crystallising. This sense of arrested motion produces tension between softness and hardness, control and surrender, permanence and impermanence.
