Title: Anatomical Vase #2

Year of Creation: 2012

Glaze: Alkaline rutile

Clay Body: Dutch Earthenware

Dimensions: Height 7 inches, Width 4 inches

Artist's Statement: This vase was born using the power of the wheel to develop organic, asymmetric forms.

I chose a rutile glaze with textural and tone variations to complement the anatomical theme and produce a visually intriguing and satisfyingly tactile effect.
