Often monumental in scale with elegantly thin walls, each of Riska’s works is a testament to her personal style. Her raw physical approach is seen in large works, as well as her delicate touches, refined textures, and glaze techniques, which are revealed upon close inspection. A proven master of the medium, Riska is actively pushing the boundaries of ceramic sculpture, creating works that seem to defy gravity.
