Creative Access Description

A colour portrait image of a tall ceramic vessel, about the height of an adult, installed in a gallery space with white walls and cement floors. The vessel is made up of vertically stacked smaller vessels with varying circumferences and surfaces that have been manipulated in various ways. One part of the vessel is made up of a large, thick, clear-cut ring that sits on top of a caved-in vessel with more vessels balanced on top of the ring. There are cracks in the vessels underneath the giant ring, giving the appearance of a clay pot that has collapsed under the weight of a heavy stone ring. They have been glazed with earthy greys and browns, resembling stoneware, with speckles and drips in certain areas. The surface of the vessel varies, some parts have textured expanding bulges and some smooth undulating shapes. The vessel stands tall, resembling a totemic figure.
