Hare Totem

This ceramic sculpture takes the form of a totem, featuring a vertical stack of hares. The hares are arranged one on top of the other, creating a tall, column-like structure reminiscent of traditional totem poles. Each hare is carefully crafted in clay, with features and textures that bring out their characteristics.The surface of the sculpture is adorned with a delicate crackle finish, which adds an intriguing layer of complexity and depth. This slightly weathered texture evokes a sense of time and history, suggesting that these hares have witnessed countless stories. The interplay of light across the crackled surface creates a dynamic visual effect, enhancing the ethereal quality of the piece.The combination of the stacked hares and the blue glaze band creates an interesting juxtaposition between nature and artistry. The vibrant blue glaze contrasts beautifully with the white tone of the crackled surface, drawing attention to each individual hare while celebrating their collective form. Together, these elements invite viewers to reflect on themes of connection, continuity, and the beauty found in both nature and craftsmanship.
