Venetian Mask Sculpture on Plinth Medium Paintings

Venetian Mask Sculpture on Plinth Medium PaintingsMask black clay with a black glaze 17cm h x 16 cm w , height on plinth 42 cm Pottery for me is an extension of my art: working with faces which encompasses my experience of painting portraiture and background as a make up artist.

The heads are either unglazed and twice fired or finished with a matte glaze, giving a more primal natural aesthetic. They look great
