Sculpture Project 3: Multiples 2014

I've noticed a use of multiples in much of my work while taking on this project. My rose pot had multiple roses, set of cups- holes, caterpillar- seeds, urchin- spikes. The process is familiar to me and noticeably time & labor intensive, so for this project I chose a simpler direction that still incorporated my style.
I threw a sphere on the wheel, perforated it, then filled it with colored and pinched the porcelain discs. The 'multiple' aspect of my sphere is the red discs within, but the perforations are a multiple in themselves as well.
Overall, the creation process is really simple to me. Not much sculpting was involved, yet I'm very much drawn in by its visual and tactile qualities. It has a reference to containment through the discs and the contrasting of red interior with white exterior. Viewers are prompted to hold the sphere and touch the shifting discs.
It sounds like pennies, which is pretty cool too owo.
