Rhino
Rhino
He is small and rumour has it her mother was the daughter of a unicorn who fell in love with a cow, and his father could be the cross between a greyhound and a rhinoceros, but who knows… I just met him one day over my desk after I came back home from lunch with some friends. I am very fond of him so I made three brothers with very subtles differences. One of the brothers lives in London with a dear friend. I lost track of the second one in Galicia. I am giving away the third brother on Instagram and this is the last one living with me.
These pieces are made adding paper to the clay which helps to get shapes otherwise would bend in the kiln. Also I work with very thin slabs of clay (2 or 3 mm. max.) This makes them light enough to stand on their thin legs when fired up to 1250ºC. Working with such a thin layer of clay is a delicate process and some pieces are lost during building.
