kurinuki bonsai planter (interior dimensions should be about 4x6x2.25 after firings)

We're happy to welcome SK Reed to Artaxis. These images are from their recent installation, "The Unreal". The walls are painted with unfired clay slip. The clay beams mimic light radiating from behind each ceramic work. Learn more artaxis.org/artist/sk-re...
