Description
This is a hand built bowl, with our own original poetry. It is fired with oxides and stains in a wood pit fire. Pit firing pottery is an inherently risky process, due to the inconsistencies of heat in the pit. This bowl has been put to the harshest test and survived! The clay is a very earthy tone with hints of colour. It is very tactile.
The poem on the vase is as follows;
gathered
like the late autumn crop
like loose threads in a sock
like post box gets mail
like the children of Israel
like birds overhead
folks at a deathbed
chicks under a wing
a choir come to sing
like stories not told
like sheep in the fold
The bowl is 17cm diameter and 6cm height.
‘Seatree elemental’ refers to a range of ceramics using rough clays and alternative firing techniques, such as pit firing or raku firing. All pieces are hand built and unique. Although they utilise original poetry – just like other seatree work – you may have to work harder to read it, as we are happy to let the words be absorbed into the piece itself. The poems chosen for seatree elemental are often more challenging in nature, as this work has emerged as a way for us to explore our relationship to all that is broken and all that is beautiful in this world shadowed by climate injustice. Just like our other work, you will see a colour spectrum inspired by the wild western fringe of Scotland.
