Did I ever post the finished Lascaux (& etc) horses here?!
This first batch of them will be available in my next shop update, but there are more getting bisque-fired tomorrow that should be going into the shop in mid-April alongside a couple more cave painting mugs :)
Currently available to view via my exhibition “Shifting Bodies” at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery until January 14th 2024.
(little gallery display fact; Guiding Light of Truth to Self is chained above this piece)!
video description: A ceramic sculpture of a ruddy-brown furred canine bust, mouth agape, wire whiskers bristling, teeth bared in a snarl. Flowers, 3D and illustrated 2D wrap around its face, eyes fully concealed by the large, white blooms. A white star marking sits on the forehead. At the back of its throat, a set of human eyes peer back at you.
Rat king is finally finished <3 he’s one of the first things I made when the studio opened up in September, and one of my first forays into handbuilding and sculpture
I made this during my first semester of hand-building. My prof had shown us the original bowl below the semester prior and I could not stop thinking about it until I made one for myself
Ummmm sooooo I did some Lascaux-inspired mugs and I love them...........maybe TOO much? Even just in bisque-fired unfinished form?!!?!?? The possibility that one of these will live with me forever? Is HIGH?
There are three of them* & every single one is my precious perfect bébé!!!?!?!
(I had the good fortune of visiting Lascaux & seeing the beautiful interpretative recreation of the cave paintings when I was 10 and YES they have stuck with me and also YES I did, not long after that, also read Clan Of the Cave Bear at an Impressionable Age!!!!)
Hi hello! Look, it's a new little process video!
You'll find the looong version at the tube (search for Nymla). 🌞
The design of the moose and suncross are inspired by stoneage petroglyphs found at Nämforsen Sweden.
And by watching all the moose migrate in spring in that same area - through the Great Moose Migration livestream - where the moose every year, guided by the warming spring sun, search for new pastures in the north. 🌞
One moose mug currently available in my shop (nymla.se)
I hope you enjoy the video!
