Slightly Mossy

Artist

Christine Pedersen

Description

Smooth black porcelain vessel/vase, hand-formed to become deeply textured, revealing the fractal, particulate, internal structure of the clay. The making process for all of my textured ceramics is deeply meditative, and needs time to unfold; it is all about managing chaos on a tiny scale, and possibly regaining some illusion of control. The final shape appears essentially round, despite the deeply textured surface. Sketched, bright green decoration beneath a clear glaze.
