"Asteroid" is a ceramic spherical form made from high-fire clay and finished with a blue-bronze raku glaze. The piece is designed to evoke the surface of the asteroid Psyche, featuring a matte black exterior and a metallic, textured central area. The glaze settles primarily into the recessed areas of the texture.

About the work:

“Asteroid” is a ceramic spherical form made from high-fire clay and finished with a blue-bronze raku glaze. The piece is designed to evoke the surface of the asteroid Psyche, featuring a matte black exterior and a metallic, textured central area. The glaze settles primarily into the recessed areas of the texture, echoing how Psyche’s metal-rich materials may be more concentrated within its cratered surfaces.
