As you can see this piece, called "Brick Bat", is a deviation from my customary wood vessels. I purchased a sand blaster, and was experimenting with its effect on various materials. The two terra cotta pieces are brick and after modifying their shape with the sand blaster I cast resin in two of the voids created. There is opportunity for light to enter the resin from the rear as the recessed areas had penetrated the brick. A clear resin finish was brushed on and the pieces were mounted on the stone base.
The dimension of the piece are: 10"h x 10"w x 4"d. It was accepted in the ISEA Juried Exhibition at the Mimetrista Cultural Center, Muncia, IN, which ran from April 13 until May of 1202. It is in my collection now.
