Writhing Death Cageby ~rebootmaster2001

Traditional Art / Sculpture / Abstract

My work reveals an evidence of process, structure, and detail. Ceramics has an ability to be transformed by heat with time, which I exploit by using a variety of clay bodies that yield different results from exposure to the same temperature. Much of the labor comes after the firing, when I chisel or sandblast away any excess or surface to reveal an interior structure. I can then add a new surface through glaze, enamel, or paint and repeat the process again until I am satisfied that there is an evidence of process.

In terms of form, I focus on a point of interest, surrounded by chaotic detail. These points of interest can either be a physical part, or a void, but the result should be the same in that it is a cerebral experience. The exterior or setting where the chaotic detail resides is there to present an overwhelming amount of information, which should pull attention from the focal point resulting in an oscillation between the two parts. I try to include some sort of bodily aspect in much of my work to push this object of evidence into that of a specimen. The organic body does not show evidence in the same way as my process, resulting in a mental fluctuation, which mirrors the push and pull between the focal point and exterior.

Detail shot can be seen here.

man every time i look at your work it inspires me to sculpt again ( always tell myself thats what im going to do but always end up making pots). I would like to see this displayed another way though the pedestal and the piece seem to conflict. I really see your work as installation pieces with them being so organic maybe on the sites or a part of the places that inspired the piece perhaps (just a thought ). At any rate keep it up awesome work.

I stuck with the vessel form for a long time, it's a convenient format to work within.

The pedestal is definitely a last minute adjustment. It was originally on the floor, but it just didn't meet the viewer in the right way. It was too easy to get to the discovery, resulting in a fleeting moment rather than a dynamic lapse in time.

Thanks for the thoughts, keep em' coming!
