Untitled (Ceramic Tower)

24 x 8 x 8 inches

A light cream colored, tall, narrow architectural porcelain sculpture with four sides akin to a miniature skyscraper stands on a pedestal (not part of the artwork). The base of the sculpture is square and the front tapers at an angle toward the top. From the top center of the form, a thin, straight incision runs down the upper third of the front of the sculpture. Two straight lines in shallow relief flank both sides from where the incision ends, down to the base of the sculpture. A solid, narrow arch extends vertically from the top back of the sculpture.
