About the Item

This evocative ceramic sculpture captures the human form in a moment of serene repose. Its brilliant marbled finish, oscillating between deep blues and silvered grays, suggests both geological formation and celestial movement. The torso’s gentle curves are emphasized by the glaze’s natural migration during firing, where gravity and heat have collaborated with artistic intention to create unrepeatable patterns across the surface. These chromatic variations—from intense cobalt depths to whispered azure highlights—transform as light moves across the form throughout the day. The reclining figure, rendered with confident abstraction, invites contemplation of classical themes through a distinctly contemporary lens. It sits approximately 6 inches long for a lovely adornment upon any refined surface. The artist, J. Vine, is inscribed on the bottom as seen in the last picture.
