White Winged Crown, 4 Part Ceramic TOTEM, Hand Built Sculpture by H. Starcevic

About the Item

A tall, hand built ceramic Modern TOTEM, created by artist Helena Starcevic, this is one in an ongoing study of the totemic form. Here, there are 4 separate parts hand-formed and attached with 4 small feet. The specially formed and angled top is reminiscent of wings on a crown. All the parts are scraped and sanded by hand to achieve a textured surface. Rather than a traditional glaze which can hide the texture, this piece is coated with a white underglaze to give a soft powdery surface and reveal the texture underneath. As always, the artist seeks to abstract the totemic IDEA, here with soft geometric forms. Fired twice. Signed with Artist's sigature chop underneath.
