Michigan Artist - Diana Alva
The Detroit Clay Company
Terracotta stays true to it's properties and the exploration of this material keeps my desire to create alive. And it's fun. The pottery is an exploration of form and color. My vision is a personal creative journey, that I share with you, the viewer.
Cone 3 at 2075 degrees, non toxic barium free glazes.
The images were chosen with an intuitive mind set. I'm inspired by Indian iconography and belief systems. Researching cultures, myths and storytelling, has given me a better understanding of the spiritual side of life.
The images are also designed to blend with contemporary motifs, while keeping the colors natural to their elements.
