SILHOUETTE(S) II

As a quick follow up to a recent post, here is the silhouette XOXO covered pot out of the glaze kiln and ready for whatever its next step may be. I decided to go ahead and throw a handful more pieces to fill the kiln, get everything to bisque and then glazed and fired the work. In the end I thought having the work completed made the pieces a bit safer than in varying stages of green or bisque ware as I was moving things around while working on other ideas and projects. Though it may not seem so at first glance, this covered piece was designed for use though I am hoping it will looks just fine sitting on a table or shelf as well and I think the silhouettes bring just a hint of mystery, the unknown to the piece allowing the viewer to fill in the blanks for themselves. I had fun making these larger, oversize silhouette knobs and especially with the other designs that I came up with the connection between imagery and decoration is quite crystal clear. More to come.
