SCALLOP - CERAMIC PLATTER

Title - SCALLOP
This ceramic platter features the emblematic naked summers shell. A portal between the divine & mortals, emerging from the depths of the sea, the ancient gems of nature - the sea shells. Once carrying life and now eternally holding the secrets of the ocean. The mermaids place them on the shore at nights with full moon. Hoping that a heart full of summer will find them. 

By applying sea water onto the bisque surfaces, the artist invites the unpredictable textures of salt to slightly mark each piece, transforming the surface into a record of both artistic intent and organic reaction.

This artwork belongs to a limited series of just 7 hand-painted ceramic platters. 
The exclusive collection includes artworks: Huntress, Medusa & Scallop.
