I pulverized these plaster molds in the kiln a couple of weeks ago. Damn Blaauws. Damn me for being so impatient and wanting to dry them in the kiln, trying to rush nature.
These were my first attempt at making one-part plaster molds of grocery-store plastic containers, which were to become dishes/platters for the Cup Sale. Thank you, David, for reminding me to photograph them before they journeyed into the kiln to dry...
Anyhow, to make a long story short, after the Blaauw disaster I made 60 of these instead:
These pieces were made by playing with the nuances and irregularities of slip-casting techniques. Drips were left uncorrected to bring attention to the inherent beauty of imperfections.
