\"Grant_13283\"<\/a>The domed disk is, of course, not only a polymer thing but makes regular appearances in materials where a flat surface can be manipulated or molded such as with sheets of metal, glass or ceramics.\u00a0Vicki Grant<\/a>\u00a0created this gorgeous disk from porcelain\u00a0complete with a peek-a-boo window not unlike the popular forms of this type we see in polymer.<\/p>\n

Vicki’s disc has some very enchanting movement in that swirl of the ferns\u00a0on the outside that is echoed by the tight swirl of the nautilus tucked inside the window, both have cross patterns created from the fern leaves and the shell chambers respectively. Although she titled it\u00a0Windows to the Earth<\/em>, the juxtaposition seems to conjure up earth surrounding a window to the ocean; a contrast of lush soil\u00a0against the clean whites of a small spot of underwater\u00a0landscape. The contrasts add a bit of intrigue to the design.<\/p>\n

Vicki’s work is regularly intriguing and inspiring. See more of her work for that inspirational “shot in the arm” on\u00a0Vicki\u2019s website, \u00a0Claytree Fine Art<\/a><\/p>\n
