Alison-Brannen-Image01-web

Description

Alison has created a large sculptural vase featuring bits and pieces on the surface suggesting disintegration, shedding and falling away.  The vase is fired twice, first in an electric kiln (called a bisque firing) then in an outdoor reduction kiln. It is then stacked in a saggar chamber packed with woodchips, slips and copper and fired to 1800 F.  Each piece records the marks of the fire and will slightly vary in colour, pattern, size, and weight.  Retail Feature: Toronto Potters Biennial Exhibition titled FLUX Earthbound was juried by Denis Longchamps (Executive Director and Chief Curator of The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery) and Susan Low-Beer (Award Winning Ceramic Artist).
