Pottery by Osa
Pottery by Osa

I included these pieces in the exhibition that opened Sunday. The middle piece features the crackled, fragmented surface I wrote about a few weeks back. The two pieces on either end were formed with clay collected from a construction site in Sarasota County and are unglazed. Up close, you can see the grainy sediment including small, black fossil fragments. The Earth is its own document, leaving a record for us to decipher. #WildClay #alttext

A photo in landscape orientation of three pots collaged onto a background photo of a Florida clay mine. The surrounding stratified earth is mostly light orange with random patches and streaks of white. 

The two pots on either end are cream colored and much simpler than my usual pottery. The pot on the left is V-shaped and features fine ridges applied to the surface in a symmetry that aligns with the form. The one on the right is a bit taller and curvier with applied ridges that form an X At the center of the piece. 

The vessel in the middle has a spherical body and a long, flared neck. It is a lighter shade of off-white than the other two pieces and features a crackled surface. It sits on a ring wrapped with twine. The vessels and clay background together communicate a natural and earthy aesthetic.
