Optical Bowl with Fractured Rim

Fritsch, Elizabeth

We’re working on releasing this image.
×

Bowl, stoneware painted with white and coloured slips, flattened elliptical shape with flat base, the sides rising to a slightly everted rim, the rim higher at the back and shaped to give the illusion of a fully rounded bowl; the whole of the exterior except the base overlaid with a speckled white slip, a band round the rim and the top edge painted in coloured slips (white, dark green, pale greeny-blue, pale blue, rusty brown breaking to orange/ochre, buff) in angled strips to give the effect of fractured faultlines.

USA. CALIFORNIA. On the Doc Bar Ranch is a line of 40 year old Cadillacs half buried in the ground. They are exactly following the line of the San Adreas Fault and one of the few visible signs of exactly where the fault lies. They have now become a local tourist attraction and have been elevated to become works of art. Actually they were put there to protect the bank of the small river. 1991.
