About the Item

Ceramic sculpture of combined clay bodies, unique processes developed by Anna Bush Crews, looks to inherent qualities in the material, the way it smoothes, or not, the way it stretches or breaks up in actions that make the shapes and form the sculpture, the way it looks next to another clay body, the way it fires, the way it shrinks and changes through each process, as one leads to another. All in all, there are infinite variables. This piece emphasizes the shapes created from every angle, changing as the light moves and new combinations are exposed, the sharp and angular to the smooth and rounded fullness. In an ongoing body of work, NOR (Nature Of Reality), I consider the layering inherent in everything, the compressing, melding, distorting, and resulting changes that happen through the process of life, human and geological. A balance of forms, an asymmetry with balance, is an intention.

  • Metamorphosis
    By Jared Fitzgerald
    Located in Southampton, NY
    “Metamorphosis” is a unique over-glaze Chinese porcelain pot by renowned ceramist and painter, Jared FitzGerald. Blowing in the wind. The wind crosses to the mountain and loops lazily in circles in the blue sky. “Metamorphosis” is part of a new series from Fitzgerald’s studios in Jingdezhen, China. This series uses over-glaze, a new ceramic firing technique that diverges from Fitzgerald’s previous ceramic practice, which used the traditional under-glaze technique with blue and white colors. Over-glaze allows FitzGerald to paint with a range of colors; unlike with other glaze techniques, such as under- or middle-glaze, over-glaze allows FitzGerald to paint onto an already fired ceramic panel, so there is no serious change in the color of the pigments. This is a special technique which allows the artist to mix Chinese painting techniques with western techniques derived from oil painting. Over-glaze decoration is considered one of the most important modern glaze techniques in Jingdezhen now. The traditional overglaze decorative colors in Jingdezhen include Gucai (antique colors...
