Hanging Rachis With Tail, Hand Built Ceramic Mobile, Stoneware and Porcelain

About the Item

There's something about art that hangs in space rather than on the wall. This piece, "Hanging Rachis With Tail" consists of graduating stoneware arcs with porcelain spacers. It has a long teardrop shape, like a tail hanging at the bottom. Each piece was individually hand-formed, with a textured surface, hollowed out and painted with a black underglaze before firing. The porcelain spacers are also hand-formed of bare clay. Like other pieces in the Rachis Series, this one references the spine. Instead of sitting still on a pedestal, it hangs freely in space, animated and ever changing. Since the parts are hollow, it weighs under 15 pounds. Strung with a coated picture-hanging wire with loop at top. From the Artist's private collection.
