Unknown - Artwork 1007

A squat, egg-shaped form with an intensely textured black surface that appears to have been heavily reduced in firing, producing a metallic sheen and rough, cratered skin. The top curves into a narrow opening that is irregular and folded, the interior revealing hints of red and orange that suggest trapped heat or iron-rich flux. The object reads as both vessel and abstract totem: its dense mass and rugged surface create a sculptural silhouette that emphasizes primal material forces.

Pitted surfaces and the contrast between the dark exterior and the warm interior give the piece a sense of geological transformation caught in clay.
