About the Item

This contemporary tabletop vessel is by Steven Heinemann. This major Canadian artist is widely known for redefining the boundaries of ceramic art. Steven Heinemann’s superb technical craftsmanship has won him international attention. He uses slip cast molding—a technique that allows him to hand build shapes that cannot be easily made on a potter’s wheel. The elegant, elongated, organic form of this piece is inspired by nature. Its rich, red, shiny surface is achieved through meticulous layering of glazes. A fine black line defines the edge of the vessel. “This ‘behaviour’ of the material which does not seek your permission, already suggests to me a dance of nature, mind and culture.” Steven Heinemann “The ceramic sculptures of Steven Heinemann are astonishing, mysterious enigmas inviting thoughts about being and non-being, the tangible and the intangible. His thirty-five-year practice is deeply rooted in the principles of the 1960s studio craft movement, which prioritizes process, material, and the non-functional object to create autonomous sculpture.” Dr. Rachel Gotlieb, curator and historian Steven Heinemann earned an MFA from Alfred University, NY, in 1983 and has taught in Canada and the US. Heinemann has exhibited continuously since his first solo exhibition at the Ontario Crafts Council in 1982. His work is held in museums the world over. Heinemann has received many national and international awards, including the Saidye Bronfman Award, Canada’s highest recognition of achievement in contemporary craft.

Biomorphic Blue No 11 - smooth, pigmented Winterstone, abstract sculpture
By Jana Osterman
Located in Bloomfield, ON
The natural world inspires the beautiful organic forms of artist Jana Osterman. This deep blue patinated winterstone sculpture suggests the shape and movement of tree roots. It is polished with a protective wax giving it a light sheen. “Tree roots hold traces and impressions of where they held on but still suggest the smooth, and continuous movement, the flow of water." Jana Osterman Born in Slovenia, Osterman moved to Holland where she studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She continued with printmaking studies in England. For the last 20 years, Osterman has worked as a full-time artist and fabricator in Canada, first in Toronto and now in Prince Edward County...
