Description

This is a piece of work I was not able to sell as it sustained several firing cracks in the kiln. The idea is to plant hair in the top. Grogged red clay with coloured slips fired to 1280C .

A Chia head? She seems bored with it all. Another wonderful example of your singular work.

I'm at about an hour and 15 minutes here, and I think I did about 12 images. (And I still skipped a whole slew.) I had to end with this, because it's terrific. I'd buy it, even with the cracks (which aren't visible from the photo, btw). Your sculpted faces mix very primal mythic expression with straight-out comedy, and the combination is irresistible. They're what the ancients would've done if they were more comical. Love that it's a long neck and head, love the stuff on its neck, love that it seems to have popped out of the ground. And love its expression with that big nose, buddha earlobe (probably ears made for large earrings), love how it pops into the plant-tops, love the bulging whites of the eyes, and so on. Terrific piece. I'm amazed at how much you still have of these. It's great to comment here as always, Andrea, reflecting and ruminating on the teeming bazaar of your imagination. I didn't do as many nature shots, this time, but someone has to lose out when I have to choose. But I've loved them all. Hope to be back her soon---such great stuff!

(ps---I may be a few days late for your bday, but i'll get it soon after if not on the actual day. No gush, I promise. Just play and fantasy.)
