Volcanic shell

Volcanic shell is a conical ceramic sculptural work crafted from earthenware and glazes. The overall shape is a rounded point at one end of the overall oval, with the other point appearing to have been torn off. It has been given a texture using a mix of various improvised techniques. The exterior of the shell has a deep caramel-coloured mirror glaze and a burnt effect made with a transition to a dark grey velvety texture at the edges of the opening, mimicking cooled lava rock.
