Free form ceramic painting; (toxic ringworm)

I know what your thinking,
What a gross name.

That's ok, yeah it is gross , but so is clay when it's at the super squishy stage of life. This piece is from a chance composition made by sloppy bits of discarded thrown items.you might have noticed I have written about it before, but the change is the acrylic colour enhancement.
I chose a strong colour because I want the central bar to have the most gravitas, and the side parts to be exactly that- side parts. I felt like symmetry was important. My friend disagreed but that is ok.  She enjoyed the colour as it was ...

This piece has great little windows to see the shadows through and really sings off a cool white wall. The arch of the clay creates impressive shadows and it all neatly rests on a hook or nail.

It is one of the few pieces I decided I couldn't put up for sale.
