"My designs are the result of a romantic pursuit of the beauty of light and its transformative qualities. My intent is to give everyday objects a life and a presence beyond their functional existence."
Muhammad Moussa's training as an architect is evident in all of his work. The architectural influence reveals itself, not only in the forms, geometries, and detailing, but also in the way the pieces cast and interact with light. Moussa's pieces equally celebrate the void as much as the object, as each piece animates and inhabits space.
The furniture, luminaries, and accessories are made of ceramics, wood, glass and cast bronze. By resisting the perforation of the solid surface, Moussa developed his signature ceramic technique. Using clay coil, he at once created the solids and the openings in a seamless pattern.
In addition to earning a master's degree in architecture from Carleton University in Ontario, Canada, Moussa studied ceramics with noted ceramist Jim Thomson and at the Ottawa School of Art. The artist currently lives and works in Orlando, Florida
