About the Item

This is a one of a kind original functional vessel made by southern California artist, Ron Carlson. Its dimensions are 3.5 x 1.75 in (L x H). A certificate of authenticity will follow delivery Lead free; hand washing highly recommended. Safe for microwave use unless there are shiny metallic lustres on the piece. As a sculptor, Carlson is focused on investigating his own relationship to the materials. He explains, “the primary purpose of my work is the process itself, a self-indulgent interaction with the materials, ideas, and techniques. The work that involves imagery is a combination of symbols, subliminal observations that often reflect the contemporary human condition or just illustrates my life and experiences.” Many of his porcelain works are usable as functional vessels. He notes, “my ceramic work is an investigation into the sculptural dynamics of the vessel form,” thereby challenging the notion of a ‘formal sculpture.’ The playfulness of Carlson’s work invites the viewer to physically pick up his pieces, open them up, and explore their own relationship with art, and what art can be.
