Method: coil-built Height: 9-10" Date: spring, 2001 (Finally got around to using my digital camera to take pictures of my ceramics stuff. Woot!) I took beginning ceramics spring semester of my junior year at high school. Most of what I made I wasn't that happy with, but I don't think I'll ever dislike Prometheus here. "Behold Prometheus" was made for an assignment that required us to make a coil-built piece showing either an animal, a plant, or a man-made object-- anything that wasn't totally abstract. A lot of people made people or monsters, I made a titan from Greek mythology. Kinda. Prometheus, you see, was the titan who brought fire down from Mt. Olympus to man; something that ended up getting him in a lot of trouble with the Olympians. My Prometheus is a pig though, and instead of torch he has a lighter. So I guess I'm kinda mocking the whole Prometheus myth... Or maybe it's just technology in general? Ah, well... Viva Prometheus! |
