Nature and Christ
Caden Davis
Ceramics 2
This is my second semester in ceramics, I wanted to bring in nature and christ because those two things are very important in my life. I created these pieces because throughout my entire life I have always been pushed to go outside and play, I used to live in the country on 15 acres I was able to do whatever I wanted and be a kid. The reason that religion is in my work is because it is a big part of my family, some of my favorite childhood memories is when we use to go church in the morning with my family, then we would all go get food afterwards . I created five-piece of work, that consisted of 3 slabs and two hand-built boxes. The three slabs had different types of leafs and crosses on them. The first one I created was with leafs the reason I implemented the leaf is because when i think of nature I think of god because he created nature. Tthen I painted it with black underglaze, then I fired it and finished it with clear glaze. The other two slabs had leafs and crosses on them I painted blue and green underglaze on them, then I finished them off with clear glaze. The two-boxes that I created were both handmade, first I cut them into squares ,then I put surface designs on all sides. Then I cut 45% angles on all the sides and scored and slipped them together. I fired them and dipped them into glazes.
