Sculptural ceramics piece.
(large images)
The idea behind the form is an object falling from the sky, piercing the clouds and the ground. The U shaped pieces are representing "dirty" storm clouds, while the part below it represents the ground. The black object of course is the falling object. I had wanted a speckled effect with the U part, but the glaze did not come out the way I had seen it done before. The black object also came out less than expected, as it peeled heavily when applying the glaze, thus giving it the sometimes spotty look it has. Though those two glazes failed to achieve the desired effect, the final outcome still holds to the design that I was seeking to achieve, and the results are also satisfactory as they are.
Later, I will upload some sketches of the piece as I was working on the design.
