Raku fired ceramics with underglazes
9.75 x 9 x 6″
I am interested in how nature can act as a metaphor, for instance, how to personify hope, aging, nobility, etc. This ceramic bust was fired in the Japanese Raku process. The word ‘Raku’ means enjoyment. The figure here is a portrait of my mother, the “Garden Lady.” Her head is slightly uplifted, eyes and mouth smiling. Hummingbirds, a dragonfly, a daisy, and gardenia flowers, all symbols of joy adorn the figure. The crackle glaze is a natural result of the quick firing and cooling.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
