I am showing three new pieces that were recently photographed by John Polak in his studio a few days ago. I am showing them as “front and Back” images becasue the pieces are so complicated and difficult to understand just by seeing one side.
I have already shown the first in this series and it looks remarkably tame and simple compared to these three “Imaginary Vases”. Someone remarked the other day that, because I am making them successfully out of ceramics they are no longer imaginary. That may be so but I still enjoy referencing the drawings and prints that preceeded these ceramic pieces.
This piece is around 23”x18”x6”, fired to cone 6
Vase #3 is 22” x 18” x5”, itis fired to cone 6 using a new sculpture body. I sand-blasted this piece to tone down the glaze a little.
This piece is@ 23” x 18” x 6”, stoneware sculpture clay, sandblasted
