we're all talking to keep the conversation alive Sculpture

Music, specifically Pop Music plays a pivotal part in my creative process. I hone in on both the lyrics and movement of the words as they are played out in a song visualizing the shape and form, presenting a back and forth dialogue between objects. My primary medium is porcelain, which allows me to work organically, adding or removing clay during the building process. I finished this piece by firing it in a Cone 10 reduction firing and sandblasted the glazed surface which not only adds design and texture but creates a visual partnership throughout the piece. Taking inspiration from the Brian Eno song Backwater; I wanted to express the lyrical movement of the title throughout the 4 pieces, showing back and forth or push and pull of group conversation, so this piece departs from my usual abstracted aspects of the figure to a much more representative approach. thrown and altered porcelain, cone 10 reduction fire, sandblasted with wood shelf.
