 Saturated Adhesion

Clay, glass, glaze, sand and tulle

2013

Size varies with every piece

     For this project I really wanted to try a different way of working with clay and glaze.  I decided to pour puddles of both slip (liquid clay) and glaze and allow them to dry.  Once they were completely dry, I layered the clay, glass beads and glaze all together on top of sand and fired it just like that.  I am really influenced by the textures of earth and space and in this project I am using these materials to make abstract things hint at certain natural conditions.
