Ceramic crab, built from more than 30 pieces, 2019
naked-raku-ceramics, 101 x 30 x 64 cm
For the participation in a sculpturecompetition I build this crab in winter 2018/2019.
Maximum hight or width was 1 meter. I could create and fire one of the „bronze“ ceramics this big, but this would not be interresting enough in a competition. So I used the naked-raku-technique. That´s why I had to create the work in pieces and assemble it later. I decided for a crab, because of the exoskeleton a crab has, that would make it natural to use many pieces.
