Sfossils
Vancouver, Canada
Sfossils is an experimental studio investigating the social, historical and cultural contexts of craft through lighting, furniture and other objects of utility. Through the development of these artifacts, the process of making and the story of their use become intertwined. Each series by the studio is a research-based inquiry into a craft movement, material or object typology. Rigorous experimentation is in continuous practice to understand the poetry and spirit of making objects that bring delight to the everyday experience.
Founded and helmed under the creative direction of artist Mike Seymour, Sfossils is based in Vancouver, Canada.

The 'Paean Collection' borrows from elements of the natural world—texture, colour and form are interpreted through the use of crater, foam, craquelle and reticulated glazes. The pendant lights pose as a floristic study of biotic life found on the verdant forest floor or the distinctive, rich underwater terrain off the shores of remote coastal islands in the Canadian West.
Somewhere between archaeological relic and future artifact, the debut handcrafted ceramic lighting series by Sfossils is expressive in material, showing highly textural glazed surfaces on linear sculptural pendants. Using minerals, elements and processes from metallurgy, glass-blowing and ceramics, the glaze formulas created are not conventionally known in the ceramic world. The resulting surfaces take on appearances of other materials such as wood, stone, seaweed and funghi, transforming the individual forms into mysterious simulacra of naturally occurring objects.
