Moon Phase Totems, White on Black Legs, Hand Built Ceramic by Helena Starcevic
About the Item
Three "Moon Phase" TOTEMS, Off-White "Moons" on black tripod legs. Full moon, half-moon and quarter moon. Hand built in dark brown clay which shows through the matte white glaze adding depth and evoking the texture of the moon. The legs are glazed in a satin black that has plenty of variation, like a patina that sparkles in some places.
These three pieces, made to go together are slightly different in size. They measure approximately 9 inches tall by 6 ¼-7 inches wide. Each one is a slightly different measurement, one of the signs of a hand-built ceramic sculpture.
The totemic form is one that the artist has been exploring and referencing throughout her career. These are the latest in that ongoing study. Completed at the New Year, they celebrate the end of 2020 and the hope for the future.
Signed with Artist's Signature Chop underneath.

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.
