Bob Clyatt
Noborigama Man on Pillar- Eyes Closed

2014

About the Item

This head is a porcelain piece fired in wood kiln on a mountaintop in Cold Spring, NY. A community of ceramists is needed to fire one of these kilns as we take shifts around the clock for several days to load wood in and carefully raise the temperature to an extremely hot kiln. Smoke and ashes from the split logs blast across the pieces depositing unique random accretions onto the surface, creating a living object. This traditional Japanese style of wood firing is known as Noborigama.
