Black Ceramic TOTEM Trio, 3 Hand Built Sculptures, Rings on Arc'd Legs
About the Item
A trio of 3 hand built ceramic Modern TOTEMs from a series investigating the Totemic form. Each one is different, a soft rectangle, an oval and a circular ring on arcing legs. The satin black glaze on high-fire stoneware shows the variations, speckling and pitting resultant from a Cone 10 reduction firing in a gas kiln. These types of firings are known to create unique glaze surfaces due to the creative mixing of gas and oxygen during a process which can last up to 24 hours. Dimensions given below are for the smallest piece. The largest piece is approximately 2 inches taller.
From the Artist's private collection.
Each is signed with the Artist's signature chop.

Helena Starcevic Ceramics
Helena Starcevic Ceramics produces work that straddles the line between fine and decorative art. Each piece is one of a kind, hand-built entirely by the artist in her New York studio. Taking inspiration from the natural world, Ms. Starcevic's work includes references to the stark beauty of the desert, prehistoric cave paintings, and the human form (within and without). Everything is filtered through Ms. Starcevic’s own singular aesthetic, at once quiet yet strong, meditative, and beautiful. Pieces are made in different clays and finishes, and at different scales. Groupings are available. Helena Starcevic’s ceramic pieces are held in private collections across the US and Europe. She has held numerous residencies including one at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City.

Trio of Hand Carved Wood Sculpture, Tall Carved Poplar Totems
By Steve Turner
Located in Chicago, IL
These hand-carved poplar sculptures transforms from an open, geometric cage form at the bottom to a serpent head at the top. Steve Turner slowly works the wood, revealing natural elements, rings and knots present in the wood. These modern totems evokes the work of Constantin Brancusi and Henry Moore in its modern and organic nature. Each of these three sculptures stands atop a solid steel custom base thus the width dimension can vary depending on how far apart each is spaced.
