A series of ceramic project

This sketch was made for a series of ceramic final project. As a painting student, I tried to explore the issue of different perspectives in clay media. The sketch shows three potteries, which have both three dimensional volumes and two dimensional surfaces. I also played with the difference between a perceived volume and an actual volume by combining different dimensions in a way to flatten the visual volume of pots. I made the the organic form to contrast the geometric lines. The negative space creates an outline of another imaginary pottery between pots. Italian ceramic artist, Nino Caruso, helped me in terms of forms while American artist, Andrea Gill, showed me a possibility of various surface decorations on the forms. My interest in multi-layered landscape gave an insight for surface decorations. I placed different layers of various surface treatments so that the viewers would experience a maze of abstract lines, shapes, patterns and colors.
