Now sold.
Canopic Contemporary Prototype no 1. Black Stoneware. £280. Between making my next series of narrative illustrated pots, l’ve been throwing shapes intended to remain in their raw state and fired high to a delicious smoky charcoal due to an inclusion of Manganese Dioxide in the clay. Obviously I have well and truly draped myself across the silhouette of ancient Egyptian canopic jars here, but as I go along, in all my work I’m imagining the work to be confounding if it were to be pulled from the earth in a millennia or two. Some of these jars (although not this one) part low down the body, and as such are deliberately impractical for regular use. Except perhaps as a time capsule? Well, I’m not expecting patrons buy one of these and then immediately toss it into the Thames, but the idea certainly appeals. Anyone feeling bold?

Too beautiful for my ashes (and too soon I hope), but via what site do you sell this wonderful urn/jar?
😂 I hope so too. I’d quite like to end up in one of these myself now you mention it. This one is sold sadly, and although I don’t repeat exactly the hand thrown elements of my work, I have just completed another though, which I will be putting up for sale at any moment. It’s £280. I’ll send you shots of this one one if you’re interested. Many thanks, David.
