'Night, Dawn and Day'
Shaped of clay, three ceramic spheres explore celestial rhythms. Pools of starlight cover one, representing night. On another, dawn breaks in bands of clouds that push through the darkness. The third sphere depicts the sun's rays on its upper half. Christian creates the trio in the traditional Chulucanas style. They are polished with a river stone and receive their dark coloration from the smoke of mango leaves. Ceramics such as these are entirely unique � not even the artisan can recreate one. Thus slight variations of color or brushstrokes confirm their originality and authenticity.
