This artist's profile is available upon request.This artist is a master of the 'Yohen technique', roughly translated as “alchemy of the kiln,” in which minute variations in closely guarded glaze recipes and kiln temperatures produce a surprising pallet of hues and patterns manifested in subtle but awe-inspiring gradations of color. To create this piece the artist mixes iron oxides and other colorant minerals to his glazes to produce the effect of millions of stars glowing faintly against deep red and purple skies. In creating this mesmerizing vision of the infinite expanse of the “outer space,” the artist beckons the viewer to explore the infinite possibilities of the “inner space.” This mesmerizing workes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.Dimensions: H 15 in.
