Traveling Companions

This unique sculpture is a combination of hand-built components made from stoneware clay. The dog starts as a series of clay cones and cylinders. As they are assembled, the pose emerges. The carved waves and fish are first painted with slips, and the overall surface is achieved by applying an artist-made semi-matte glaze. Wiping these highlights created the worn look of a found object. Signed on the bottom, this piece is one-of-a-kind.
