Alex Irvine Ceramics: The Christ of Reconciliation
http://alexirvineceramics.blogspot.com/2008/02/christ-of-reconciliation.html
The Christ of Reconciliation. Above photo by Lawrence Irvine. The Christ of Reconciliation. 44 x 21 x 33 in. When I first saw a Spanish Colonial artifact of Christ depicted with the Sacred Heart, it immediately conjured parallels to Aztec human sacrifice. Later, I learned that the Sacred Heart was made an icon for specific veneration by the Catholic Church in the 17. Christ is holding an obsidian knife, traditionally used by Aztec priests to cut the hearts out of sacrificial victims. The wounds of the cr...

Alex Irvine Ceramics: Loadedware: American Gangsta
http://alexirvineceramics.blogspot.com/2008/02/loadedware-american-gangsta-2007-12.html
CENSORED FROM CITY HALL IN PHILADELPHIA! Above photo by Ken Yanoviak. 125 x 10.5 x 23 in. Stoneware, Glaze, Englobe, Gold and Platinum Lustre. What I think this teapot means:. Promote super-materialism. Get them CEO's richer. Don't save your money to rise above your poverty. It is a form population contol. Maybe, but my gut thinks not, especially when you consider facts like the FBI promoted and participated in violent racism in the South. There's a pattern here. What do You think? U are a douche! Thank ...

Alex Irvine Ceramics: Face-jugs!
http://alexirvineceramics.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-face-jugs.html
At BLUE SPIRAL 1. In Asheville, NC. At Artspace Upstairs in Tryon, NC. Politics, Satire, and the Appalachian Vernacular. Face-jugs are packed with untapped potential. This dawned on me after moving to the mountains of Western North Carolina for a residency at Odyssey Center for Ceramic Arts. It was during this time I began to assist folk potter, Michel Bayne. In his South Carolina studio. Having a penchant for modeling faces in clay, the transition to face jugs came naturally to me. Jug next to the Tranny.

Alex Irvine Ceramics: meditater #5
http://alexirvineceramics.blogspot.com/2008/10/meditater-5.html
15 x 12 x 9 in. 4,500 (available at The Snyderman-Works gallery. In Philadelphia, PA: (215)238-9576). During the firing the clay started to melt and the head fell into a kiln shelf fusing an otherwise impossible connection with a flameware heart near the edge of the shelf. Perfect- heart and mind are one. March 10, 2011 at 10:10 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). TRANSFORMUS 2011 SCULPTURE KILN. Ongoing project with veterans:. The Christ of Reconciliation.
