Glazed Tower with Shell hemisphere

Glazed tower with shell hemisphere is hard to understand without seeing this piece. However, once seen it’s obvious what I’m talking  about. Understanding how it’s made is another story.

I employed one of my advanced techniques of creating negative shapes of organic objects, like a shell.  It is a seemingly suspended hemisphere above the “tower”. Yet, it’s connected and made monolithically. That means this piece was made as one piece. It’s not separate elements that were “glued” together.

Glazed tower with shell hemisphere is hard to understand without seeing this piece. However, once seen it’s obvious what I’m talking  about. Understanding how it’s made is another story.

I employed one of my advanced techniques of creating negative shapes of organic objects, like a shell.  It is a seemingly suspended hemisphere above the “tower”. Yet, it’s connected and made monolithically. That means this piece was made as one piece. It’s not separate elements that were “glued” together.

It is one of my successful expressions of my timelessness ideal in precious porcelain.

My work is about the overall aesthetic, not so much about the ceramic. My work could only be made using the slipcasting method. The additive shell that builds up inside a plaster mold when the liquified clay is poured (see my article on Slipcasting).
