Georgia O'Keef's Slug
I was inspired by the suggestive subject of Georgia O'Keef's paintings. I wanted to do a similar thing with my ceramics. Instead of her floral subject, I've also adapted this theme to suit my familiar topic of marine life. I think I was successful in my adaptation of O'Keef's imagery. The pink folding lips are not subtle. I also continue to enjoy the appreciation of the negative space in the vessel.
Her slug, here, is a sculpture that can be appreciated from all angles. She has no bottom. It's fun to turn her around and up-side-down, to get changing perspectives of her curves.
