About the Item
"Ocean Canyon" is a saggar-fired porcelain sculpture by Alison Brannen. It measures 13" high by 9" wide by 9" deep, however the sculpture can be arranged two ways. It has a proper hook on the back to hang on the wall, and of course it can sit on a table or shelf. Inspired by her journeys sailing the Atlantic Ocean, Alison can’t get enough wind and fire! She creates dynamic patterns that ebb and flow along the surface of her beautiful organic vessels. Specifically, Ocean Canyon is a saggar and salt fired wall sculpture with Kintsugi (the gold lines Alison mentions below). It was exhibited recently at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art, Toronto, Canada. Characteristic of Alison's best work, the surface texture and coloration suggest a world of water and terrain. Note the sweeps of color across the surface – blue of course, to inky blue black, but also the copper, rust and ochre in striking expressions. There's a natural harmony in the chaos, offering us both painterly and tactile pleasures.
From Alison Brannen – "I fell in love with clay 20 years ago and prefer a painterly, experimental approach when building and glazing my work. I alter the form and use colored slips to build the surface. My firing process can be hard on the work as I tumble stack bisque-fired pieces in a saggar chamber and fire to 1800’F. I often use Kintsugi gold repair to highlight imperfections and repair cracks which I view as desirable and natural. I saggar fire my pieces outdoors in a small Raku kiln with combustibles, salt and oxides. This mixture creates a mineral rich atmosphere: copper reds and cobalt blues invade the surface of each highly burnished piece. The color on the pot is actually created by fire. I am inspired by Anasazi, Pueblo and preColumbian pottery."
Alison Brannen's work has been exhibited in Canada and the USA. She was the featured artist at the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art in Toronto, Canada in September 2020. Recent exhibitions include Fusion Clay and Glass, Art Gallery of Burlington, Clay and Glass Gallery Waterloo, Oeno Gallery and Craft Ontario. An accomplished painter and printmaker (MA University of New Mexico, Albuquerque) Alison teaches pottery and Kintsugi workshops in her downtown Toronto studio where she lives with her husband Craig and her two beach loving dogs, Ruby and Tilly.
