Pod Bubbles

Pod Bubbles!

I couldn't decide if these looked like seed-pods or bubbles of air in the

water, but I love them. More holes than you can poke a finger at - or into. Altogether there are 12 spheres, all interconnected, but only four of them touch the ground. The rest are left to float upwards - or tumble down, depending on how you look at it.

Spike!

Spike is great. He's about45cm long. You can see his resemblance to Gordon the Sea slug (from two posts earlier). But Spike is just that little bit more edgy than Gordon. I wanted to contrast his colours with that of Gordon, so Spike went for the pale green interior, speckled with black dots. His exterior skin, beautifully textured, is highlighted by the red-brown transparent glaze. The spikes are quite sharp and fragile but easily support his weight.

I love creating these sculptures that have no obvious glaze-free footing. It's challenging of thinking how to apply glazes.

The Woman Bowl

This bowl makes me think of a woman. The round bumps, the ocean blue colour, it's liquid-flow and it's capacity to be a vessel; pregnant with possibilities. So I've called it The Woman Bowl.
