Loaf of Red Clay





LOAF

This is one of the multiple sculptures I've been working on outside of ceramics Food and Function class. I started out with bread basket in mind as I rolled out  slabs of clay and purposefully let the wrinkles in the canvas mark the clay. The project sort of morphed from there. (The slash marks remind me of the way a crystal is broken up.) Making this piece started me thinking about the internal and external qualities of functional sculpture in the way it curls, twists, and intertwines. The remaining objects I've made for extra BFA work were still in the kiln when I had my camera, so unfortunately I didn't get to take photos of them. They are in the ceramics studio and available to view.

Just took some photos of them for quantity scale...
