About the art
Artist statement
The spring and the cycle of nature.
Water that springs from the clay that is hold in the stone and fire as light or smoke that is contained in glass or clay.
Gota is a vase that is held off the ground by a hand-carved stone base,
The vase resists fire below 950 degrees so it can be used to contain water, flowers and plants.
The vase made of black Oaxacan clay filters a very light humidity through its walls, which are cooked at a low temperature with wood and not glaze, the moister walls will keep the water fresh.
The base of Gota is made of volcanic stone known as basalto.
Gota is a bottle with the form of a large water drop made of burnished black clay from Oaxaca, the base is hand carved in volcanic stone using as reference the Espacio Escultórico in Mexico City.
