I just call this piece "Pisces." It is one of three fish sculptures I have done recently, and I especially like this one. (It sold right away too!) It is created of white earthenware which I gave a crackled surface to. The texture of the surface is highlighted with iron oxide, and the ultimate impression is of a sculpture carved of bone. I hope I can re-create this finish because it is so stunning. So often, though, even though you think you know exactly how you did something the first time, it seems to be impossible to get the same outcome again. We'll see .....
