Suzanne Stumpf: Diatoms, 2011, 16"w x 11"d x 3.5"h, handbuilt with wheelthrown components; porcelain and porcelain paperclay; oxidation fired to cone 10
Interactive sculpture inspired by the beauty of these mysterious single-celled organisms. Upon learning that diatoms may also help against global warming, I was even more driven to “interpret” them.
