Using the nerikomi (kneading) technique, a marble pattern is created. Nerikomi is a traditional Japanese pottery-making technique of creating patterns by mixing different colored clay.
In this piece, however, instead of creating a conventional pattern, I have mixed the white and black clay into a non-conforming gesture, then shaped and carved it into a vase. The sharp cuts resemble a steep cliff as I am often inspired by natural landscapes. A small opening allows for a single stem flower or a branch. The interior is glazed in dark brown with a splash and drips showing around the opening. The exterior is unglazed. High fired at cone 10.
