Fire Sculpture

A tall column made of many unfired clay faces standing in a workshop

A column built from dozens of faces, made to be fired in the open air rather than in a kiln.

Firing is the moment Galstyan returns to again and again: the point after which clay can no longer go back to earth. In the fire sculptures that moment becomes a public event.
