Markus Karstiess: Night Ego

Like three-dimensional Rorschach blots, the work of German artist Markus Karstiess (born 1971) engages the viewer in a psychological game of associations. His suggestively craggy ceramic vessels, completed with live flowers, evoke sensual primeval landscape, while their heavily worked metallic surfaces simultaneously evoke the Futurist sculptures of Umberto Boccioni.
