Neolithic Tile Ledge
I've been studying rock and other natural surfaces for a long time. I try to produce a "random" style in my shapes and their surfaces, and this series seems to show that I've accomplished what I'm after. The "beauty" of these pieces is perhaps up to debate, but I think at least I've accomplished an effect that transcends the human touch. There is little evidence here of "my" work or my imposition of form or surface on the natural ingredients.
These tiles were bisque fired once. The terracotta is impregnated with fireplace ash, mostly hardwood that I piled up for my friends at their place in New Hampshire last year.
