Cup With Ears (for Listening to Flowers) by Sascha Mallon

$48.00

* A unique artwork.

Cup With Ears (for Listening to Flowers) by Sascha Mallon is a tender, whimsical vessel that feels half-object, half-companion. Hand-built in ceramic, the cup features small ear-like handles marked with simple, expressive line drawings—suggesting attentiveness, curiosity, and quiet presence. The soft cream exterior opens to a deep plum interior, while a blush-toned saucer grounds the piece with warmth and care.

Equally suited to holding a small flower, a treasured object, or nothing at all, this work invites imaginative use. Like much of Mallon’s practice, it draws on fairy-tale logic and gentle humor, transforming an everyday form into a poetic prompt: to pause, to listen closely, and to notice what is quietly unfolding.

Sascha Mallon is an Austria-born artist based in Beacon, New York, whose practice spans ceramics, drawing, installation, and textile techniques. Her work has been exhibited internationally across the United States, Europe, and Taiwan, with recent exhibitions at Austrian Cultural Forum New York (New York) and Kentler International Drawing Space (New York), where she created immersive installations combining wall painting and porcelain elements.

Rooted in fairy tales from her childhood—particularly the symbolic worlds of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen—Mallon’s work uses gentle, intimate forms to explore complex emotional and ethical states. Influenced by landscapes that hold both beauty and unease, her practice reflects care, vulnerability, and transformation. Alongside ceramics, she incorporates crochet and other craft traditions, connecting her work to slow, embodied knowledge. Her Buddhist practice further informs an ethic of interconnectedness, impermanence, and compassion, shaping works that are deeply personal yet resonant with shared human experience.
