Deconstructed Sculptural Vessel

Inspired by traditional Anglo-Saxon pottery that has been found in the UK, this vessel was made by Dameon Lynn using a technique of deconstruction. A series of symmetrical forms are thrown on the potter's wheel out of a stoneware clay mix which are then torn and flattened into slabs used to make a new form, involving a deep understanding of the limits of the material. This vessel was fired for five days in an anagama style wood kiln in Thailand. The glaze was applied to the overlapping textures to simulate the melting ice of winter in Catalonia and no glaze to the main body to reflect the warmth of Thailand's summer.
