Slab Pots from the kunanyi series


kunanyi
The top of kunanyi, better known as Mount Wellington, but a landscape with many names both indigenous caucasian.  I collected a small stone away from the top (This is a table mountain and goes for miles, and the 'top' is fairly arbitrary.  I've collected small stones from where ever I go and use these to build the patterns and textures that go into many of my pots.
The goal is to capture the atmosphere and the quiet.
It wasn't quiet here, it was windy and cold, with intermittent mist.
The third pot of the series
The last of the first four.  These are all stoneware, with iron oxide stain.
More of the wonderful rock and lichen
Ericas and grasses
I need to go back
