Ceramic boxes........

Stoneware ceramic, between 5 and 7 inches tall.

 

The Oracles............

 

......Ceramic, bisque fired.   Roughly 7-inches tall.  Another Apocryphal Artifact exploration.

The Mad God.....

 

ceramic, saggar fired. approx. 6-inches high

In the annals of ancient history, few civilizations are as enigmatic as the Technoluan. This ancient society, which flourished millennia before our own recorded history, established a dominion that was as mystical as it was formidable. Their rule was not grounded in mere earthly power or political stratagems but in a staggering confluence of quantum physics and divine madness. The Technoluan wielded their influence through the will of a mad god, connected via an otherworldly quantum gateway, with priests implanted with quartz crystals serving as conduits to convey the god’s commands.

 

 

EGO.tarium Soul Vessels..........

 ....saggar fired ceramic with repurposed vacuum tube.   Roughly 8-inches in height.

Ceramic boxes in progress....

 ...just playing around in the extreme heat.

Men...um...Crows In Black.....

 

Are these the fabeled Crows In Black that appear in UFO lore?  Or are they the Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood?  Only the universe truly knows....

These and a few others are currently making an appearance at Art Elements Gallery in Newberg, Oregon.

New Ceramic Houses.....

 .....raku-fired.  Approximately 9-inches tall.  Crackle glaze and red iron oxide.

Commissioned Garden Totem.....

Guardian Series #1: Gatekeeper

 Ceramic, raku fired.  Roughly 17-inches tall.  This is not exactly what I had in mind for the final finish, but it is what it is.  The darker areas on the base is terra sigillata which apparently does not fire true under glaze in reduction.   The very top did retain color, so it is a bit puzzling.

The Posse Rides Again..........

........the Crow-Kins are once more on the trail!   Ceramic, cold-finished.   Approximately 8-inches high.

Another Cthulhu Installment

 

This being Easter and all brings to mind the various myths of risen saviors which, in turn, leads one's thoughts down dark and tortured paths hewn in solid dripping stone to the secret chamber of.....well, nevermind.   But I thought "hey!", this is the perfect time for the unveiling of the newest Cthulhu statute...aka idol...origin and provenance unknown.   Cast from the dark reaches of the Universe to wash up on the shores of this planet, or disgustingly disgorged by the very earth itself, this relic of the Elder Things exists between the planes of sanity and madness....and now, is thrust fully into the sunlight to ensnare new devotees to the star-spawned slumbering God.

Ceramic, 12 cm x 10 cm x 6 cm.
