New developments from porcelain 5 and home clays: free form vessel whose side walls I have tried to give feelings from looking at the photos I see of the national park canyon walls of water and stone textured thru the ages. No glaze but...



My interest in ceramics and photography is often overlapping. Objects of interest to me sometimes come from random fallen leaves or layering of mountain range upon mountain range. A blending of glaze over textured clay gives controlled random color. A clay surface becomes a focus for flat abstract photograph. Leaf or flower structure becomes inspiration for ceramic texture. Finding the art is my goal.
These are amazing. I especially like the first one. It really reminds me of wind/water worn rock and the the strata.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, that was what I was after. Layering colored clay and controlled suface cracks are harder than it looks.
ReplyDeleteI have tried this same technique, even with similar vessels, and mine looked like they were a mistake, yours are wonderful, I love them.
