Ceramic project "the eye of Sauron"





To make this piece, the medium used was clay. The size (19x18) and the rounded shape, were created by using a mold (in this case, a bowl).  The bent part on the right was caused by the location used to store it during production. I worked around it to develop the curves surrounding the bowl.  The piece has no specific intended purpose, other than decoration.   From the project I learned radial designs are a much more integrated and important part of the modern world.  My inspiration for this piece is Sauron's tower (more specifically, his eye).  The radial design in the eye in the movie inspired me to make the fragmented eye shown in the middle of the piece.
