In addition to applied and decorative ceramics, Vajceová’s work also includes sculptures made from various ceramic materials in which she uses the softness and plasticity of clay. Modelled hollow forms are dramatically opened and deformed, disrupting its integrity. Her playful approach to decorative objects gives way to a desire to bring life to the matter or capture movement in her sculptures.
