"Quiet Solitude under a Canopy of Stars"
33-1/2" h x 13" w x 13" d
NFS, collection of the artist
Handbuilt ceramic sculpture, one of a kind, chemical patina.
Personal subtitle for this piece is, "...wondering, 'Where did Atom come from?" as this little sentient being spends quiet, reflective hours watching the stars rise and set in great sweeping arcs (wherever she is in space-time). I could try to write more about the meaning behind this piece, but feel that the attempt to express it in words could not possibly come close to what I intend, so will for now leave it to you to imagine within yourself...hopefully enlightened by your own experience of the cosmos from a dark-sky location.
(If you've never contemplated existence by starlight, seek out a local astronomy club; they will gladly introduce you to the night sky. I'm a member of the Rose City Astronomers here in Oregon, where we are privileged to have non-light-polluted skies within a couple hours drive.)
