Patina’d hemisphere a powerful fragile statement

This piece, a Hemisphere, is a powerful fragile statement. Thinly cast vitrified ceramic porcelain. Intense detail with a  patina both inside and out. The inner surface is glazed and the earthy tones are mineral oxides that bled through from the outer surface during the intense heat inside the kiln.

The whole process of making this piece is marginally controlled chaos and natural randomness. A successful expression of my timelessness ideal in precious porcelain.

This piece, a Hemisphere, is a powerful fragile statement. Thinly cast vitrified ceramic porcelain. Intense detail with a  patina both inside and out.

The whole process of making this piece is marginally controlled chaos and natural randomness. A successful expression 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).
