Artwork Description

Doyle Lane built this piece from slabs of clay, then applied colored glazes to the surface. The rough texture resembles weathered rock, as if the artist salvaged pieces of natural-colored stone and placed them together in a mosaic. The cracks flow across the surface of the clay like dramatic ravines, evoking a landscape seen from far above. Lane intends for his pieces to be viewed out-of-doors so that the colors and patterns can interact with the sunlight as a natural part of the landscape.
