Ownership
Still in artist’s possession. Personally significant as the threshold piece — meaningful to the artist, not intended for others.
Finish Note
Gold finish is a deliberate reference to the Cannes Golden Lion — a joke for the artist’s friends in marketing.
Finish
Metallic gold paint
Type
clay sculpture
Process Notes
Additive. Hand-built.
Story
My first sculpture piece. I'd been turning bowls for a while but that was the first time fingers met clay. I thought I'd immediately be better-than-average at it. I was wrong. Clay humbled me. The piece that taught me what I didn't want to make.
Dimensions
On a platform roughly 8 inches square
