About the Item
A subtle dark golden bronze underscores the form of this piece. Strong, yet gentile, an abstract expression of the animal spine: human, fish, all life forms are referenced here. Hand built in the artist's favorite rough clay body, bits of the hand-working shows through the glaze. To create the piece, the individual parts are made first, then attached to form a spine-like structure. Or they can be seen as petals on a jade plant, growing along the stem. This one seems to spiral in on itself. Animate, yet inanimate. The challenge is in the creation of a form that does more than "just sit there". It is made to stand or lie in various positions, each one changing the perspective on the sculpture. Drawing the viewer's attention wherever it is. The changing color-tone offers unlimited points of interest creating unlimited contemplation.

Helena Starcevic Ceramics
Helena Starcevic Ceramics produces work that straddles the line between fine and decorative art. Each piece is one of a kind, hand-built entirely by the artist in her New York studio. Taking inspiration from the natural world, Ms. Starcevic's work includes references to the stark beauty of the desert, prehistoric cave paintings, and the human form (within and without). Everything is filtered through Ms. Starcevic’s own singular aesthetic, at once quiet yet strong, meditative, and beautiful. Pieces are made in different clays and finishes, and at different scales. Groupings are available. Helena Starcevic’s ceramic pieces are held in private collections across the US and Europe. She has held numerous residencies including one at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City.
