About Cracked Reflection

This captivating wall-mounted sculpture is expertly crafted from black porcelain clay. In addition, it offers a mesmerizing exploration of organic forms that radiate outward from the center. Consequently, this design creates a dynamic and visually striking composition.

Furthermore, the sculpture’s design echoes nature’s intricate patterns. Specifically, leaf-like shapes unfurl gracefully from its core toward the edges. Moreover, interspersed among these forms are hollow tubes that curve and stretch outward, thus adding both depth and dimension. At the heart of the sculpture lies a small cluster of tapering tendrils. These delicate strands intertwine and culminate in fine points, thereby enhancing the overall complexity of the piece.

What truly sets this sculpture apart, however, is its unique surface treatment. In particular, the black clay base is largely covered by a white crackle glaze. This glaze resembles flakes or scales and varies in size and pattern across the surface, consequently creating a rich tapestry of texture. For instance, in some areas, the glaze appears as tiny, almost microscopic flakes, forming an intricate network like a delicate web or lace. Conversely, in other sections, larger flakes create bold, crackled patterns reminiscent of parched earth or weathered paint.

This interplay between the dark clay and the fractured white glaze adds visual complexity and tactile appeal. Specifically, the contrast between smooth, curved forms and rough, textured surfaces creates a piece that is both elegant and raw, thus inviting closer inspection and contemplation.
