15 MINUTES OR SO (COMPLETE)

Here is a picture of the squared teabowl I made a while back as an effort to continually try something a bit out of the box or new to me as a means of moving forward, some succeed and many fail. As you can see it was finally glazed and fired and is fait accompli; I opted for my (so-called) Kuro-Oribe style surface or that is my Oribe in current use with some iron over it creating this particular look that truthfully is a different color in each and every differing light source. Even cloaked in sunlight and shadow the lines and sparse impressed decoration are very clear and glaze movement adds a sense of animation to the more or less geometric form of the teabowl. I can't say in the end that it much reminds me of the 80s music that accompanied this timely task but given the expeditious nature of its creation I think this was one of my better uses of 15 minutes or so from start to finish.
