Profile Niharika Hukku Niharika Hukku's creations are an expression of what she finds elegant and beautiful in her world, Weaving clay into delicate fabric, she creates an impossible form. Her woven bottles look skeletal and rigid giving the impression that time has stripped away the clay and left only what was necessary. Nature also plays a big part in her work as is evident in her nest bowls and bloom/pod series. Born in India, her earliest memory of clay was on a train journey drinking tea from a 'kulhar'. The act of drinking from an unglazed earthenware bowl which is then crushed and returned back to earth after use, represented recycling at its purest. It left a lasting impact on her. She pursued beauty in painting and evolved into a successful illustrator and lived in Indonesia, Singapore and New Zealand. It was in Indonesia where the red volcanic earth once again reminded her of experiences with clay in her childhood. Her work is strongly influenced by the diverse experiences she has had whilst travelling. Niharika has always liked to push herself and the medium she works with. After exploring forms which seem to trick the eye into believing they're delicate, she is currently working on combining her passion for illustration with ceramics, using her current creations as a 'Sketch Book' - drawing subjects that touch and amuse on her thrown porcelain vessels. She is now at the cusp of finding her balance in life through her work and remains humbled and absorbed by the process.
