178. Andrew Mazzaschi, eight wall hangings, 2022
For Mazzaschi, see item 126.
These are all irregularly shaped small pieces. The front of each is roughly convex, with the grooved and glazed surfaces this potter favors. Many of them have bumps. The backs are concave. A rectangular bar was attached to the back side of each, with two holes for attaching a hanging wire. The artist’s stamp, a square box with his initials, AHSM, was impressed into the back of each.
There is no set arrangement for displaying these pieces. The one pictured is just what I happened to hit upon. They could be displayed singly or in groups. Each piece could be hung in the opposite direction. The possibilities for display are limitless, which is part of the attraction.
