Beschreibung des Künstlers:
"fault line is my first ever edition using porcelain. I made a very substantial porcelain vessel and glazed it with a soft, dark, black basalt glaze, its texture like stone. And then I broke it into fifty shards. Each of these has been gilded on one of its edges. There is a beautiful tradition in Japan of marking the moment of fracture for a special object with a seam of gold: each one more valuable for its brokenness than before. fault line will be scattered around the world, but in its memory is a single, complete vessel. - EdW"
