About the Item

Inspired by the viewing of the 2017 Total Eclipse of the Sun, these pieces consist of uniquely hand-formed conical shapes, like bursts or rays eminating from an interior sphere. This challenging form takes weeks to construct, many more for the multiple underglaze applications and firings required. "Starburst" sphere in natural white with blue or gray depicts the muted tones of the underglazes used. There is no glaze on this piece which gives it a cloud-like presence. See photos for glazed versions done on consignment for private collector.

"Spore", Contemporary, Gestural, Ceramic, White, Stoneware, Sculpture, 2009
By Sara Fine-Wilson
Located in Natick, MA
Sara Fine-Wilson's “Spore" is a gestural 17.5 x 9 x 7 inch ceramic sculpture in white and gray. It is hand built and wheel constructed in white stoneware. Individual hand formed details are layered over the entire surface creating a graceful and fluid form. The surface is coated in a cool white matte glaze that becomes darker gray and glossy along the points that have been caught during the soda firing process.Some of the points in this piece have been blunted and crusted over during the firing process. The glaze emphasizes the contrast between surfaces and edges. Fine Wilson’s ceramic work contains elements of both raw and refined surfaces including cracks, ruptures and pooling of glaze. Sara Fine-Wilson is a contemporary sculptor based in the Boston area...
