New Commission

3/6/2022

Picture
This is a newly completed commission made through Robert Passal Interior and Architectural Design in New York City.  It's a pair of clay sculptures that can be used as stools or as small tables.  Each one is a little over 19 inches high, and about 12 inches in diameter.  The pieces are going to Houston.

The clay is a rugged white body meant for sculpture and architecture.  The glaze is smooth, white, and has only a bit of sheen.

The above photo gives a sense of how I built these pieces.  It was necessary to build both at once so they would match closely.  The basic construction method is a combination of coil/slab.  It would seem logical to build the entire forms first and then add the basketwork surface texture, but the clay in the lower walls would have been too firm and dry for good attachment by that point.  So, the surface treatment has to be added while the form is being built.  It's a constant balancing act.
