A horse head with 2 very distinct sides: a delicate crackle white and a marvellous metallic "black". The white side is bright and alert, while the "dark" side rests peacefully.
Title: Phases of the Moon
Medium: Raku fired ceramic
Size: 10.5(H) x 12(L) in
What is raku? Glowing red hot ceramic pieces are taken from the kiln and placed in a material that catches fire, such as sawdust. They are then enclosed in a container with the flames. The lack of oxygen gives the glazes striking colours and patterns. Areas with no glaze take oxygen from the clay itself, leaving them with a beautiful matte black colour.
This is a one-of-a-kind sculpture. No others of its kind exist or will be reproduced.
