Coin Can #2 Demon Haggle by Camilla Sturm

$80.00

Coin Can 2 by Camilla Sturm transforms a disposable everyday object into a vessel for reflection, preservation, and commitment. Hand-sculpted in stoneware, the work adopts the familiar form of an aluminum can while embracing the weight, texture, and permanence of ceramic. Fitted with a coin slot and intentionally sealed shut, the can functions as a savings vessel while denying easy access to its contents.

Camilla Sturm is a New York City–based ceramic artist and archaeologist working in both wheel-thrown and hand-built forms. Her practice is grounded in rhythm, repetition, and the physical logic of making: forms shaped through accumulated gestures that retain the trace of the hand. She is interested in how simple, repeated actions build structure over time, and how those structures hold both intention and variation.

Drawing from New York’s urban landscape, she references industrial materials, mechanical infrastructure, and the visual language of functional objects, including those that have fallen out of use. Her work attends to utility, erosion, and residue, often looking at what remains when objects are removed from their original systems.
