Distant Steps
Height 12cm Width 13cm Depth 11cm
Steps are a subject that have featured more than once in my work. They are symbolic of traveling through the landscape on an upward struggle or downward glide. This piece is like a simplified imaginary map of the landscape; it has a predominantly matt surface but the green area is a glossy transparent glaze. The dark area is achieved with a black slip but there is also an important wash of white over this that takes away the darkness and flatness of this shape.
Slab built vessel with incised lines, engobes, underglaze, glaze and oxides. Fired to 1140°C
