Vessels, Firing
A visual poem
Description This one, for me, is less of a a literal description than an illustration of a though process I've been going through in the past few months.
Kiln image based on ancient clay kilns, and glaze in final panel based on images of modern glazes I could find, but everything else imagined.
#vessels comic#archaeology#ancient pottery#I didn't want this comic to feel demeaning hence calling it more of a visual poem; it's an emotion.#The moment of firing comes so many different ways#so many different times in our lives#maybe the transformation is not so much physical as internal#but there's a grief to the thing that came before yet#also a joy and sadness in the thing that comes after#immutably different
