Sun & Shadow Pocket Dish by Sascha Mallon

$48.00

* A unique artwork.

Sun & Shadow Pocket Dish by Sascha Mallon is a playful, symbolic object that feels like it belongs to a quiet story. Hand-built in ceramic, the piece unfolds into two shallow, scalloped dishes joined together—one glazed in radiant orange-red, the other marked by a bold sweep of black that curves like a shadow crossing the sun. The contrast is striking yet gentle, balancing warmth and darkness in a way that feels intuitive rather than dramatic.

Small in scale but rich in presence, the dish is suited for rings, matches, incense cones, or tiny treasures gathered through the day. Like much of Mallon’s work, it draws on fairy-tale logic and emotional symbolism, offering a place where opposites rest side by side. Both functional and poetic, Sun & Shadow Pocket Dish invites reflection, play, and a tender attention to the small things we choose to keep.

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.
