Ceramic Piece 1579

This piece is incredibly raw and elemental, almost as if it were unearthed rather than sculpted. The rough, stratified layers of clay give it a deeply geological presence, evoking a sense of natural erosion and compression over time. The dark, vitrified rim contrasts sharply with the rugged, unglazed body, highlighting the transformation that occurs in the firing process. The jagged, irregular lip feels almost volcanic, as if the clay has bubbled and cooled in place.

The layering of different clay bodies—especially the reddish-brown banding—adds to the sense of a geological record, as if this vessel carries the history of the land within it. The rough, almost crumbling texture in places suggests an embrace of imperfection, reinforcing a wabi-sabi aesthetic. This is a piece that feels like it belongs in the hands of someone who understands and respects the rawness of the material, rather than seeing clay as something to be tamed.
