Pit Fired Abstract Organic Modern Sculpture by Jan Jacque

About the Item

For your consideration is this unique pit-fired abstract sculpture by American artist, Jan Jacque. Inspired by nature, Jacque created this sculpture circa 1975 using a coil-building technique. The composition shows the interaction of two hollow, organic forms. The surface shows subtle changing color and shadow created by Jacque's pit firing technique in which she utilizes a variety of solid combustibles such as exotic hardwood, sawdust, leaves, straw, and pine needles. Each type of combustible has its own unique affect on the surface's finished appearance. The sculpture is notably nice to the touch and is signed "jj."
