In my most recent series of sculptures I have really enjoyed creating "stacked" pieces that are designed to hang on the wall. These sculptures are more "high relief" than "in the round" and hang flat against the wall like a painting. Some of the individual components are thrown - then cut in half - then finally craddled into a textured slab of clay, like the brown metallic piece here. Others, like the green sculpture, are seperate pieces just placed together in the hanging. I have also enjoyed using the metallic pigments mixed with acrylic paints to give a rich, luminescent finish to the clay. Aesthetically, I like that they need no base to support them and they can be as delicate on the bottom as on the top. These wall pieces average 24 inches in length.
