153. Christopher Wilder, “Grift,” ceramic wood-fired sculpture, 2021

153. Christopher Wilder, “Grift,” ceramic wood-fired sculpture, 2021



 
 

Wilder is a potter in Lexington, Kentucky. For other examples of his work, see his Instagram account, @christopherwilder6.

Gray clay, ash-glazing and color from wood-firing. Weight: 3885 g (8.7 lb). Height: 27.7 cm (11 in). Width dimensions: 19 x 15 cm (7-1/2 x 6 in).

This is highly irregular in shape. The base is hollow inside and roughly 19 x 13 cm (7-1/2 x 4-1/2 in) wide and 8.8 cm (3-1/2 in) high. The upper part is 13.7 x 15 cm (5-1/2 x 6 in) wide and 21.5 (8-1/2 in) high. The two parts appear to have been separately formed and joined together.

The piece is unglazed and acquired its color and glaze from the wood-firing.

Purchased from the artist in October 2021.
