To Catch a Cock I

Flynn, Michael

We’re working on releasing this image.
×

A figure group of raku, with a creamy-white glaze partly decorated with painted oxides (red, yellow, green and silver lustre); the base, formed from two opposed hollow wedges, supports a cock taking off in flight (fixed to the base by its tail with a cemented steel bolt) and a removable figure of a naked man crouching and reaching for the cock's tail with his left hand, his right hand thrown up behind him (with a steel bolt and brass pin fixed to a metal plate attached to one foot, which slot into holes drilled in the base).
