Description
Another work from a series of pieces investigating the relationships between two and three-dimensional design.Through these studies I intended to exploit certain elements of sculptural design, as it translates from a two dimensional design. This piece specifically investigates how line and form transforms into plane and volume when rendered in the third dimension.

That's a beautiful design. Even though I can see two different kind of figures in this piece it still looks very elegant and organic. How big is it?

I'm very into art crits...Clement Greenberg's ideas on modernist painting really got me thinking about what really defines 3d Work. you can find a ton of his essays online. Hope this helps.

Whoa! This is amazing! I love how you've sliced the pot but created a little pocket off the side. This looks phenomenal. Are you planning on glazing it?

Thanks! I really appreciate your compliments! You probably know as well as I how much of your heart and soul goes into these pieces. It is so comforting to hear positive remarks and genuine interest.
To answer your question,
In my earliest sketches, I played around with colors like black, white, yellow, blue, and red. As I continued working with the pieces something kept bothering me about my original decision to use color. I kept changing my mind about what colors to use and where. I wanted the best effect that would enhance the overall form. I finally concluded that color, though it would add interest, would also create a strong polarization between the individual components of each work. Color would force the shapes to compete instead of enhance the unity of the collection of forms. In the end, I chose to coat the pieces with clear. I made sure the pieces were sanded and smooth, removing all blemishes before applying the glaze. A high gloss like the one I used would create strong highlights on any raised or angular form. After the pieces were fired, the glaze emphasized the forms by reflecting light of the surfaces and joints. I am happy with my choice to keep the works entirely white. They appear unified and harmonious, drawing attention only to form and construction, and not color.
I hope this answers your questions! Again, thank you so much for your comments and interest! - Aubrey

Yes, I do a lot of ceramics myself, and I love looking at all the fabulous pieces on deviantART.
Your piece was so unique that I wasn't sure how I would think about glazing it - I love the plain white, myself...I'm glad that you thought about it the same way I did.
Clear glaze was a great choice - it certainly did show off the form as apposed to the glaze...which tends to happen with intricate glazing. I mean, sometimes that is a look people go for, but in this case, with such brilliant design, you were right to show it off!
You're welcome!
