I have been exploring a new concept for wall hangings. What if these were free of the restraint of frames and moved towards a more flowing expression in clay. What if the clay didn't have hard edges but instead took on the characteristics of cloth. Then, what it the clay was draped over a stick or something similar and appeared to be as fluid as a silk scarf. This was my challenge and inspiration! Here are some results of an idea in progress. Let me know what you think.
My raku is unique because of the copper raku glaze that I developed. The magic of the fire brings out the colors of copper. Each piece captures the fire in a different way and the end result is that each piece, either hand built or thrown, has its own unique colors. I love to design and build a form, carve the textures to enhance the design and then raku the piece. Color, form and texture combine to make a cohesive statement in clay.
