Description: | The upper and lower sections of this figure are defined by smooth and prickle-covered areas respectively. Coated in a thick honey-like glaze, this glaze and the prickles suggest difficulty in movement within the context of 'the figure'. Each prickle has been added by hand, by rolling small pieces of clay, which are then attached to the surface with a modelling tool. Prickles first appeared on Cuneen's figures only at the hands. Inspired by the depiction of Biblical stories in religious art, the presence of marks on hands indicates someone specially chosen. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | makers ceramics contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
