Bringing Nature to Life on Ceramics with @niharikahukku

“For me, to create form and function out of what is essentially mud was magical,” says Sydney-based artist Niharika Hukku (@niharikahukku). With a background in painting, Niharika started out her career as a commercial illustrator, but later decided to pivot into the field of pottery making. “I always felt a pull towards ceramics,” Niharika says. “I wanted to do something that was personal and organic.”

Now she devotes her time and creative energy to producing porcelain and other ceramic items, which has also allowed her to revisit her painting roots. “While I work all day and into the night, I work at a languid pace relishing in my surroundings, tools, materials and books,” she says. Her workspaces include a garage studio for wheeling and shaping the ceramics and a sun-drenched painting room where they are further enhanced with nature-inspired motifs. For Niharika, her pottery is a way to bring extraordinary ideas to life — like cupping the moon in her hands or catching the clouds in a vessel. “My work is an expression of what I find elegant and beautiful with inspiration seeded in my observations in nature.”
