On the Rocks #1 is a sculptural vessel made using kurinuki, a Japanese ceramic technique in which the form is carved from a solid block of clay. The process produces an irregular, angular structure with no single dominant viewpoint, allowing the vessel to change as it is turned.
The work was wood-fired at 1300°C with different sides exposed to different conditions within the kiln. Direct flame, ash and variations in the firing atmosphere created contrasting surfaces, from darker, strongly marked areas to softer and lighter passages. Shino glaze and natural ash deposits further emphasize the cuts, edges and irregularities of the carved form.
The vessel can stand as a sculptural object or hold flowers.
Stoneware. Kurinuki, shino glaze and natural ash. Wood-fired at 1300°C. Unique piece.
