A Handful of Clay



Clay Fetish: Gestural exercise: live model, limited time.

Sculpture mix; pit-fired on Ocean Beach: 2000 or 2001.

P.S. The model had arms, but I left them off on purpose. They didn't look right, at least in my hands. Instead, I wanted to focus on the curve of the back, on the way the model folded his body upon itself, and on the way the whole piece fit--sat, lay--in the palm of my hand.
