Designed in our Napa studio

A thick burnt orange form wraps around a large cream interior void, notched at the top and bottom right, outlined in dark navy on a warm taupe-rose ground. It's the most architectural piece in the collection — the form reads like a frame within the frame, or a ceramic cross-section viewed from above. Distinctive warm abstract wall art for a living room or home office where you want something with structural presence rather than just color. Natural wood frame reinforces the warm ground and lets the cream void breathe without adding a competing edge.

Field Notes

Part of Terra Forms — a series drawn from the material and formal traditions of Northern California's ceramic craft. Coil-built vessels viewed in cross section, the hollow interior of thrown pottery, the negative space that defines a form as much as the clay itself. No. 08 inverts the usual figure-ground relationship: the cream center is the subject, the terracotta mass is the container. Two notches — one at the top, one at the lower right — keep it from reading as purely geometric.

The square format makes it flexible for gallery walls. Works well centered alone or flanked by more minimal Terra Forms pieces. A good fit for spaces with exposed concrete, plaster walls, or natural wood furniture. Framed and ready to hang.
