MARS XXXIV

THE MARS VASE REPRESENTS A COMBINATION OF TYPICAL IRON COLORS FOR CERAMICS, WHICH CREATE A PALETTE FROM FINE OCHER THROUGH BLOOD RED TO DEEP BLACK. IT IS INSPIRED BY KOREAN MOON VASES AND, LIKE THEM, IS MADE UP OF TWO HEMISPHERES. THE ROMAN TERRA SIGILLATA TECHNIQUE, ON THE ONE HAND, REFERS TO THE WAR DEITY MARS, BUT IN PARTICULAR MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE GRADIENT OF ARRANGED COLORS, WHICH, AFTER POLISHING, ACQUIRE A HIGH-GLOSS SURFACE. WITH TARGETED COLOR OUTBURSTS FROM ARRANGED LINES, I CREATE AN ABSTRACT COMPOSITION THAT EVOKES THE SURFACE OF A RED PLANET.
