About Emergent Arcs

This sculpture consists of several interconnected arcs of varying sizes, crafted from ceramic. These arcs form an organic, flowing shape that extends upward and outward from a central base. This type of sculpture could symbolize the cyclical nature of life, with elements representing growth (flowers), fertility (pea pods), and protection (thorns), all interconnected in a harmonious yet complex form.

At the apex where the arches meet, a burst of soft, coral-like spikes emerges, creating a crown of organic forms. This central feature is reminiscent of a sea anemone or a delicate underwater creature, adding an element of surprise and wonder to the sculpture.

At the base, where the arches converge, a cluster of small spheres gathers, forming a foundation of  small globes. These could be likened to pearls or seeds, symbolizing potential and growth.

In a few select areas, additional arches have begun to sprout and develop, suggesting ongoing growth and evolution. These nascent forms hint at the sculpture’s potential to expand and change, giving it a sense of living, breathing artistry.

The overall effect is a harmonious blend of structure and organic form. This ceramic piece stands as a testament to the intricate relationship between art and the natural world.
