This slab-built stoneware vessel from the ROOTS collection is a profound exploration of geological texture and organic history. Its monolithic form serves as a canvas for a complex interplay of earth-toned glazes and raw, unrefined surfaces. The vessel features a heavily textured exterior, with the upper portion showcasing a porous, moss-like yellow and ochre finish that resembles weathered rock or lichen. Deeply incised horizontal lines wrap around the centre, suggesting sediment layers or a distant horizon line. One face reveals a dense field of raised, circular dots and a spiral-like focal point, while another displays vertical, forest-like markings and fine sgraffito lines. Subtle iron spotting and occasional deep red or dark blue points add moments of intensity to the neutral white and grey base. Each piece in the ROOTS series is a unique reflection of the natural world. This vessel captures the essence of deep time, where the chemical reactions of the kiln mimic the slow, transformative power of nature.
