'Iteration III' is a unique sculptural vessel from the Symbiotic Morphologies Series by the Moldavian artist, Ionela Bellato.

Bellato is an artist working at the intersection of computational design and ceramic matter, using code to initiate processes that are intentionally left open to transformation. Her work does not aim to control form but to construct the conditions in which it can emerge.

The process is intentionally slow and exposed to risk. Large-scale porcelain pieces, in particular, carry a constant possibility of failure, making each successful outcome both fragile and singular. The resulting forms often evoke organic systems — growth patterns, marine structures, or cellular formations — without directly representing them. They exist as suspended states between the natural and the artificial, the designed and the emergent.

Through this hybrid approach, Bellato’s practice is not entirely designed, nor entirely handmade, but shaped through a continuous shift between code, material and gesture. Possibly and done so as an act to remind us of the human element, each work is embellished with adornments made by hand and not machine, however done so in an act of unison, as opposed to one of hierarchy.

The artist can also create pieces to commission, please contact the gallery for further information.
