This unique hand crafted wall sculpture by celebrated ceramicist Steven Heinemann is glazed in a glossy black. The interior of the organic shape is rimmed in canary yellow. The artist's process of making can stretch over months or years. Heinemann will fire a piece multiple times reworking the surface, creating texture, polishing and re-glazing.

“Ceramic has unique potentials unmatched by any other medium. It’s enormously responsive and records, eternally, even the slightest touch,” Heinemann was quoted in Canada's leading newspaper, the Globe and Mail.

Since completing his MFA at Alfred University in 1983, Steven Heinemann (RCA) has taught widely in Canada and the United States. He has exhibited continuously since his first solo show at the Ontario Crafts Council in 1982, and his work is part of numerous public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Museum Of Fine Arts (Boston), Icheon World Ceramic Centre (Korea), National Museum of History (Taiwan), the Museum of Art and Design (New York), Museum Boymans van Beuningen (Rotterdam), and The Contemporary Museum (Honolulu).

Heinemann has received national and international awards including the Bavarian State Prize (Germany), the Juror's Award (Mino, Japan), Fletcher Challenge (New Zealand), and in 1996, he was granted the Saidye Bronfman Award, Canada’s highest recognition of achievement in contemporary craft.
