Blue Planet Sphere with Hand Carved Surface
About the Item
Blue Planet Sphere is a round elliptically shaped sculpture, like a flattened, angle-edged ball. Not exactly shaped like our Blue Planet, it still looks like it could be spinning through space, rotating around a sun. Or as some have said, visiting from another galaxy.
Much of my inspiration comes from shapes and forms. Abstracting the familiar so the viewer can experience the work for themselves. You will find Mother Nature behind many of the shapes I use. Surface treatments are simple, often monochromatic, to keep the focus on the form itself.
Blue Planet Sphere was hand built out of a solid piece of white stoneware clay. After several weeks of "setting up", it was hollowed out to create the inner volume. Again, after several weeks, the spherical lines were carved into the surface. At this point the underglazes were layered on. Dark blue and black were applied into the lines, then various blues painted onto the surface. Once again the piece is left to fully dry before the first of 2 firings.
This piece is fully fired though not glazed.
Signed with Artist initials within the carving at bottom.

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.
Customers can choose from a variety of colors or tones. Each will be different, no 2 will be the same.
