fluxed earth have long been fascinated by the traces left in wood and react, by the movement of insects and the growth of fungi and plants. So often these traces can appear similar to remnant of ancient human scripts carved into stone or clay.
These pendants are a reflection on these markings and messages – human and other-than human.
Each pendant is individually carved from a block of porcelain, glazed using high fire glazes and fired to 1300 degrees Celsius. They are strung on hand braided linen thread that has been coated in local beeswax.
fluxed earth is a a collaborative ceramics practice of Rye Senjen and Kirstie Murdoch, based on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Castlemaine, Victoria.
