This slab-built stoneware vessel from the ROOTS collection is a striking exploration of industrial decay and geological stratification. Its form and surface treatments suggest a fragment unearthed from a landscape where nature and human imprint have merged over time.The exterior features a complex, pitted "crackle" texture in bone-white and ash-grey, reminiscent of weathered concrete or fossilized remains. One side displays faint, grid-like patterns and stamp-like markings that evoke industrial serial numbers or ancient script. A dense area of dark, branch-like sgraffito markings creates a sharp contrast against the light body, suggesting tangled roots or skeletal debris. A prominent, textured band of sage-green glaze encircles the lower portion, providing a singular, earthy drop of colour. This piece captures the "ROOTS" philosophy by looking back at what remains. It is a tactile, heavy-bodied stoneware work designed for collectors who appreciate art that feels both ancient and contemporary.
