The pit fired sculptures from my Architecture Series were Urban Memories II (UL), Urban Desolation II (LL) & Femme de la Faucet (UR). The last photo shows both Urban Bldgs fresh from the pit before cleaning & waxing. The Faucet pic is also pre-finishing. The backside of it is an urban bldg w/many small windows. The non-porportioned woman on the front pouring out of the faucet sitting on the bldg's roof is the same height as the bldg itself.

Another Honorable Mention
"Urban Memories II" This Pit Fired Ceramic Sculpture won an Honorable Mention at the Portsmouth Artist's Guild current "Interiors & Exteriors" juried show (Portsmouth, RI), which runs through Sept. 18, 2011. The unusual coloring comes from dried seaweed, which is used in the pit firing process. Another pit fired ceramic sculpture titled "Urbanscape" was also chosen for inclusion in this show. Elizabeth "Lisa" Goddard, a professional artist--painter and printmaker--also a teacher of visual arts & currently the Executive Director of the Newport Art Museum, was the juror.
