Trance-Vase 5

This is an abstract ceramic sculpture. It is a psychological representation of the body, built like a vessel around the void that refers to the vital breath or soul. It was hand-built in stoneware and painted with a combination of glazes and engobes. The surface has matte, glossy and bubbly areas in shades of blue, grey, black and ochre. It was fired in an electric kiln at 950°C and 1230°C.
