Artist's Note: The vase is wood-fired stoneware, with a kaolin flashing slip which gives it the red color and skin-like surface. It is constructed from folded slabs of clay that were originally paper patterns. This series is influenced by the nine malic figures, which are the lead foil figurative pieces in The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even, by Marcel Duchamp.
