Identity IV

Bell-shaped ceramic pot with a spout placed diagonally. The pattern is scored into the slipped body and scraped away to reveal a black and white geometric pattern. As well as creating a pattern, the technique also creates a surface texture. The scrape marks are visible, braille like and inviting to touch. The pattern on this piece is made up of wide vertical columns and narrow horizontal rows. A lozenge shape is then drawn and scraped off at the end of each column and this alternates down vertically creating the pattern.
