About the Item

This intriguing large blue clay piece by Canadian artist Steven Heinemann bridges the divide between sculpture and ceramics. The teardrop-shaped vessel appears deflated and gently curved as if it is flowing down the steel shelf it sits on. Heinemann’s organic form is inspired by nature. The title was borrowed from a favourite Beach Boys song that was first featured on their ground-breaking album, ‘Pet Sounds’ in 1966. Heinemann is considered a master ceramicist whose innovative and imaginative work has redefined the limits of ceramic art. “The form has many origins both in and outside the language of pottery and containment, the sensation of being and embodiment, and like the above seems to be caught in a moment of change or transition.” Steven Heinemann Steven Heinemann earned an MFA from Alfred University, NY, in 1983 and has taught in Canada and the US. Since his first solo exhibition in 1982 at the Ontario Crafts Council, he has exhibited continuously. Heinemann’s work is held in museums the world over. He has received many national and international awards including the Saidye Bronfman Award, Canada’s highest recognition of achievement in contemporary craft.

Probability Deep Blue 4 - elegant, curved, abstract, glass, wall sculpture
By John Paul Robinson
Located in Bloomfield, ON
John Paul Robinson creates original contemporary wall sculptures from coloured glass that are filled with light. This piece features elegant arched deep blue tubes of glass that are polished to a smooth finish and overlap one another to create a dynamic composition. The Canadian artist often explores themes related to how the world works. This is one of a series intended to represent the dual nature of light as both a particle and a wave. In physics, the wave nature of light is referred to as a "probability wave". “The thickness of the glass and curvature of the lens conspire to create their own optical effect. As your gaze moves across the piece it causes the small grains of coloured glass to shift just a bit. Starry Starry Night...
