Eric Seritella heats clay and stretches it to create a texture that looks like dried parched earth. He says that he was drawn to the technique during an artist residency in Taiwan a few years ago and he's done a lot of experimenting with it since then. He begins by throwing or handbuilding a form and often applies sand or grog to the surface and may even stamp or scratch the surface. While the clay is still wet, he heats the surface with a torch, but the heat only dries the surface. With the surface now dry, he expands the body resulting in cracks and fissures in the surface.Friday, February 6, 2009
