Contemporary Ceramic Sculpture Created Using The Raku Firing Technique

Contemporary ceramic sculpture created using the raku firing technique
A saucer-shaped base supports suspended rounded arches, thin metal wires, and abstract elements, arranged to form a three-dimensional composition of overlapping layers
The geometric composition is created using the traditional Japanese raku firing technique
The base is made of deep black matte clay, the result of the smoke-reduction process; contrasting blue and white stripes have been applied to it
Inside, two organic forms can be distinguished, as if they were fossils or organic remains resting, sheltered, at the center of the structure
The texture is reminiscent of seashells, with undulating grooves running parallel to one another
It forms a soft, natural counterpoint to the rest of the sculpture, which has a clean, geometric appearance
