In this series, ceramics artist Thom Caccamo builds collages in clay. His procedures are similar to artists who cut shapes out of paper then reassemble the pieces onto a background except he uses slabs of rolled-out clay instead of paper. It is their combinations that bring the basic simple shapes to life. The starkness of the unglazed white clay lets you see the figures without distractions. The super smooth surface of the clay also emphasizes the forms. Ultra smoothness is achieved by sanding and sanding and more sanding both before and after the clay is fired. Too bad you can't touch the silky feel of the clay through your screens. Assembly of the ceramic components for the bas-relief is post firing for technical and aesthetic reasons. |
