Made from recycled clay and glazed in deep blues, blacks and whites, they move between functional vase and sculptural object. The surfaces are rough and rugged, the glaze pools and breaks apart differently across each piece. They are never quite what you expect up close. One of a kind, handmade in Melbourne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStory Behind the Piece\u003c\/strong\u003e Glaciers came from an interest in organic formations and what happens when gravity takes over. I was thinking about icebergs, the way they break apart and drift, and about rising sea levels and what we are losing. The two pieces together are meant to feel like a single thing coming apart. The wave formation along the base is the sea breaking them. I still wanted them to be functional though, which felt important. Something can hold flowers and also hold a bigger feeling at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e Both pieces are hand built from recycled stoneware clay. The rough surface texture comes from slip applied over the slab before building. Each piece was glazed by dipping into white gloss and then splattering with black and blue glazes, some watered down and some not, to see how the different consistencies would interact and flow. The result is different on every surface. Fired twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Glaciers ceramic sculptures.
