iceberg

this image is still not right but I wanted to post it anyway

the figure is temporary

the sky & background too bleached out with the sun

the iceberg isnt mirroring the rock behind it well enough I dont think- it changed a bit in the firing.

but – the mini iceberg is made out of clay from Baildon Moor- its travelled twenty miles across the Watershed landscape to get here, just as rocks can shift through a landscape by the movement of glaciers, volcanoes etc . The iceberg itself is an object that belongs to another landscape and also hints at other times- Ice Age, The Arctic… I also like the way the clay has been fired in a kiln, adding the element of fire to the sculpting process. So, in terms of content , its working!#
