Gestures is a series of stoneware plates made as part of Radical Presence. Each plate carries a photographic transfer of the figure. The earlier plates crop close — the body in fragment, a torso or a limb held at the edge of recognition. The later plates open out to the whole figure, a single pose caught mid-hold.
The image sits in the glaze rather than on it, rendered in oxide tones of brown. The halftone screen leaves its own texture in the surface. No two images repeat.
Made in two diameters, 8" and 11". Each plate is built and finished by hand in Detroit, and numbered and dated by the artist. Edition of 100, each image unique to the series.
