DescriptionLehmann’s early works are primarily rooted in graphic art, though she eventually returned to ceramics as a key medium. Through meticulous and elaborate technical processes, Lehmann repeatedly explores the fragility of organic forms, often drawing inspiration from snails and shells.In Schneckenobjekt (Snail Object), this fragility is expressed through a carefully ordered arrangement of geometric shapes. The forms, suggestive of fossilized zoomorphic structures, imbue a sense of soft luminescence — a partially obscured moon or a distant celestial body — suggesting that the vulnerability of earthly forms can mirror the quiet splendor of the cosmos.
