Since they are portable, but could
be set into an exterior wall, these were hung indoors, which needed to
support that weight. An early one entered in a show wasn't hung but put
it in a glass case, so they haven't circulated to shows since. They need
to be hung. They had to be fired in sections which means the larger
were cut into threes or fours or two parts depending, so the design
bears these lines through it. The themes were discerned as the process
developed. First there were small figures, bears floating in a cloud,
children playing with lollipops, but after an early version of Breugels
Opening of the Fifth Seal, but without any effort to continue that
theme, the fluid composition produced figures in procession, like the
Early Captives of Egypt. These further became portals of the divine
gates and then seraphim. There are many processions which become figures
or families of up to four that cover compositions. Some become in-depth
looks of one or two. There are a number of horses, and stand alone
figures like medieval woodcuts, finished in glass, and whole heads
mounted on a background of plexiglass. The horses were unintentional,
produced by the fluid motion and after recognized. There are more of
these that I realized, 30 or 40 perhaps.
