This piece is outstanding. It’s from Ruth Borgenicht who creates ceramic pieces of chainmail into various works of art and I could look at the pictures all day. At first glance I thought it was cool crochet but finding out that it is ceramic just blows me away.

Worn under Medieval armor, chain mail is made of tiny interlocking metal rings designed to protect a body in motion. I use the chain mail pattern and other woven patterns to create ceramic works that conjure up a sense of permanence and defensive concealment. Like the ancient armor, my pieces are made of a fabric of moveable interlocking rings. Using clay to make a protective mesh is contradictory; for how can it defend anything, much less itself? Visually stone-like, the pieces appear strong and impenetrable, belying their inherent fragility. (ruthborgenicht)
