New Work: 16 December
16 December 2007 Leave a comment
I more or less finished a few pieces this weekend, some new wall sculptures out of my new clay work. The wood (or horizons, if you wish) was all salvaged in this case. I used Gorilla Glue to stick the clay and wood together; it was my first time using this adhesive and I think it will do really well. It does expand, however, so using too much can ruin a piece.
These works are very similar to my work from five years or so ago, when I last had access to a kiln. I like the way they turned out. It feels good to have some finished sculptures as products of the kiln. Finally.
None of these are titled yet.
Clay with inlaid sapphires, mounted on an unknown, salvaged, spalted piece of wood; 8 x 21 inches.
Clay with inlaid pink ruby cabochons, mounted on a salvaged, quarter-sawn piece of what looks to me like mahogany; 6 x 28 inches.
Clay with inlaid cabochon sapphires, mounted
on salvaged, rough-sawn mahogany;
8 x 17 inches.
The forms mimic, abstractly, clouds. The stones, if you wish, can represent rain or colors reflected off of storms by a setting sun.
