When it comes together

This piece is, as usual, a poem of Chris’s. It is very satisfying to use the whole poem on a ceramic artwork. I love this poem. it is so vulnerable and so gentle. When I let the words flow down the clay and then wanted to allow a flow of lines too, rather than a detailed drawing, as it felt that would distract rather than add to the work. Once fired, I then added two soft glazes , turning the piece upside down, so that they flowed evenly across the clay palette. It’s one of those pieces that, when it came out of the kiln, we both said, ooh, that worked..
