Halved

hand built stoneware, underglaze colours

This is a piece I made last year. I started with the word 'halved' and tried to illustrate it clearly, whilst still creating an interesting and stimulating piece of work that I could enjoy to simply look at.

I wanted to make a piece that looked naturalistic and resembled a piece of fruit, having studied segments of oranges and grapefruits etc. as part of my research. I think the difference in texture from the outer and inner surfaces of the pieces highlights this, and also helps show the fresh colours I used to make this piece to their best advantage.
