Manantial Vase by Omar Ortiz

About the Item

Manantial Vase by Omar Ortiz, 2021 Dimensions: H21 x W10cm Materials: Volcanic stone, black clay. Is a vase that is held off the ground by a hand-carved stone base. The vase resists fire below 950 degrees so it can be used to burn charcoal inside it or incense or contain water for flowers and plants. The vase made of black Oaxacan clay filters a very light humidity through its walls, which are cooked at a low temperature with wood and not glaze. The base of Manantial is made of volcanic stone known as recinto. The shape of the base is inspired by the legs of the traditional molcajete that is used to grind spices and chili peppers while the arches refer to the basic shape of the entrance to a cave creating an empty space between the ground and the black clay vase. La Muerte Tiene Permiso Collection In pre-Hispanic cultures it was believed that the mountains were home to the gods. The pyramids repeated the shapes of the nearby mountains. These same civilizations forged their identity in stone, with sculptures, stelae, columns and pyramids among others. The collection explores the handcrafted and symbolic elements of stone. The relationship with clay, fire, water and air to create a cycle within a piece that houses these elements and creates a micro spring. Stone that holds up clay that can contain water or fire to give way to life and the cycle repeats itself over and over again.
