Not quite as planned

Sometimes things don't go as planned but can be quite interesting despite that. 

The Trance of Light
- it is approximately 40cm tall

It features screenprinted images of mills and
machinery, plus the textures of fabic, stone,
setts and cogs

This piece was made for theSDC at the Mall Exhibition and was based on the Ted Hughes poem, the Trance of Light which is about the decline of industry in the Pennines and a return to nature. 

As usual I was pushing the clay to its limits and this time it broke in the firing - but actually - for me it gives a further dimension to the theme...
