This sculpture was created a few years ago but has recently been influencing the evolution process in The Black and White series. I'm drawn to the element of spontaneity, which was a key component in the glazing of the head sculpture and is a focal point in the Black and White paintings.
This sculpture was fired in Nils Lou’s East Creek Anagama in Willamina, Oregon; one of only a few wood burning kilns in the United States.
This head survived an incredibly fierce environment inside the home-made kiln. Pieces of wood were dropped into the kiln, every 10- 15 minutes, around the clock for several days. The ash from the wood is what gives it it's unique glaze and texture.
