This 30 cm sculpture is a refined example of contemporary wood-fired ceramic art, distinguished by its carved, folded form and the deep atmospheric textures created during its Anagama firing. The piece features a dynamic interplay of concave and angular planes, opening into a sculptural void at the center - a gesture that adds both tension and elegance to the form.
During the five-day Anagama firing, flame and ash moved unpredictably across the surface, leaving behind warm ember blushes, glassy natural ash runs, and cratered mineral deposits. These effects are impossible to reproduce through glaze alone and are valued by collectors for their authenticity and singularity.
The sculpture’s compact yet powerful presence makes it ideal for collectors who appreciate works with strong sculptural identity in a more intimate scale. Like the expressive wood-fired pieces admired in the works of ceramic artist Beatričė Kelerienė, this sculpture embodies the union of intentional form-making and the unpredictable beauty of atmospheric firing.
Its durable stoneware body ensures long-term stability in both interior and curated outdoor environments, further enhancing its versatility within a collection.
A one-of-a-kind piece shaped by flame, time, and material truth.
