Kintsugi Sea Globe - Coastal Green
Clay: Earthenware
Technique: Slip cast
Glaze: Green, aventurine and black
Sculpture / Non Functional
Earthenware Sea Globes are fired many times to create complex glazing designs that have been abstractly inspired by the coastline where I live and work.
This beautiful Sea Globe has panels of coastal greens and heavy shades of aventurine and dark tones. The heavy glazing that covers half the globe has knitted together at high temperature. The globe has black interior glaze.
The piece has been finished with black lustre detailing on the rim and gold leaf highlighting the repairs in the style of Kintsugi.
I complete very few Earthenware Sea Globes due to the success rate being low caused by the multiple firings and complex glazing designs. Each piece is unique and designed purely as a sculptural “objet d’art” and is not functional (i.e. should not be used as a vase)
PLEASE NOTE: This piece is a globe that has cracked during firing and intentionally repaired using the style of Kintsugi highlighting the repairs in gold leaf.
Kintsugi (金継ぎ, "golden joinery"), also known as Kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique.
