There once was a Queen who practiced amnesia,
She gave up all knowledge in exchange for her vows,
To meditate on the Buddha without wearing her clothes."
This box is a what I call medium sized . . nine inches in length, larger than the other boxes here. More views of this piece are on Etsy.
Again the recurring theme of a woman in meditation . . . this time I exploited the flow of temoku loosely applied over Shino and wax resist to create the shimmering halo effect of a crown.
The rhymes and titles are something I write to complete the work, in my mind, in my imagination. My pots are never perfect, but by writing something about them I hustle them along towards their destination, a little like a shepherd calling out to a flock.
"Move along there!"
