I really love this design from the last half of 2015.
Definitely an image that's loaded with more meaning than I probably should share just yet.
Needless to say, it's not just a rooster under the stars. It's much, much more personal than that for me.

I've been running a short list of cone 6 glaze tests the past few weeks using this design and the Compass Rose motif.
What started out as easily readable quickly went to place that required a more participatory role of the audience.

Pictures, even high resolution pictures, don't convey the jeweled depth of these surfaces.
It devolves (or evolves) into a game of obscura, where the viewer holding the work is the only one that's in a position to puzzle apart the design.

It's a game that connects the artist, the work, and the person holding the yumoni. It's a subtly intimate game that, when done right, teases.
The downside and delema once again is, figuring out how to show the work using pictures.
After all, it is said...
"If you can't shoot it, you can't show it...
and if you can't show it, you can't sell it."
