“Tourbillion” combines a clay mask with wire. The wire envelopes the piece and highlights the linear texture in the mask. Each element has its own flow, and they combine to create a tension and peacefulness.

As a ceramic sculptor I am constantly pushing materials and forms and combining them in a variety of ways. I created this piece using a stoneware clay mask that was fired with stains and then three different gauges of aluminum wire were woven through the mask and sculpted. This piece allowed me to manipulate the human form in clay and wire. The wire flows from the mask and appears both controlled and unkempt simultaneously. The flexibility of the wire allowed me to sculpt this image. The wire emerges much like hair blowing in the wind.

This piece was created in response to the pandemic and the lock down that we went through. We all stove to be protected. Our masks gave us security in this difficult situation.
