Ceramic Sculpture
Boy With Asymmetrical Ears is a limmited edition sculpture. The sculpture is cast with slip (liquid clay) into a mould. Once it is released from the mould it dries for a couple of days and small corrections are made. Then it is stacked in a ceramics oven which is fired to 980 degrees celsius.
The first batch of five is painted with acrylics.

This ceramic sculpture is for indoor use only. Outside it will probably crack from low temperatures, bleach in the sun or get stolen by jealous neighbours.
