End of a series - fired relief sculptures

These are the last of a series flat reliefs that I am going to make-unless someone is interested in a portraiture. I used a matt blue-green stain for the final firing. A couple of the flat pieces cracked in the kiln. You never know how it will turn out until it turns out.

 ====================================================

The sculptures have evolved into more three dimentional and expressionistic masks. The immedicay of drawing in clay is very exciting to me; "Qi", energy flows very quickly with clay.  It's like working with paint. It's equally as fragile....until it comes out of the kiln.
