Suina, Jeff – “Chamber” Angular Geometric Design Jar
$ 975.00
Jeff Suina works in clay and multi-media. Each piece is made from native clay and painted with mineral clays for the design. This is one of his creative sculptural pieces. The jar is slab-built to create the flat sides. The piece is entitled “Chamber”. Jeff wrote about this piece:
“Chamber continues his exploration with geometric design. This work marks the debut of a technique I like to call horizontal extrusion: beginning a shape with a singular polygon and extruding the edges to create new and exciting triangles. The initial shape is then rotated 90 degrees and becomes the vertical base of the piece. The result is an evolutionary statement with faces that reach out into space at horizontal angles. Chamber takes its name from science fiction movies, where cocoon-like hibernation devices often appear as part of the plot.”
Take a closer look at the painted designs. They are all variations of classic Cochiti sun, rain, and lightning designs. Jeff has used the angles of the shape to match the lines of the imagery across the surface. The contrasting positive and negative spaces are visually striking to the eye. The piece is signed, “Jeff Suina”.
