Barbara Bläsing (DE/NL) wants to tell with her work, that the human being is part of the nature. When she finds a particular piece of wood, then it becomes the stopper of a bottle-shaped 'natural object'. Or in other words, the piece of wood is the culmination of a ceramic altar. In these "natural objects" she let the piece of wood and skin of the ceramic bottle visually merge. The clay is fired in a biscuit fire at 1050 gr. C., the decoration has been produced with painted colorpigments (oxides with flux 1510) and bodystains in a second firing, the skin is partially burnished. The left object dates from 2016, the right one from 2017.
