The story
Hand-modeled ceramic flame tongues cover the entire body of Climbing Flames, rising from base to crown in a dense, irregular mass. The surface is glazed in metallic gold-bronze, the lustrous finish deepening to dark grey where the raised forms cast shadows on one another.
Sierra Kanistanaux built this piece in San Francisco as a pure sculptural form. Fire is the subject, not the decoration. The silhouette, wider and reaching at the crown, reads as upward movement frozen mid-reach in stoneware.
Each handbuilt piece leaves the kiln with its own iridescent quality. The gold-bronze glaze responds to the light it finds.
About Sierra Kanistanaux
Sierra Kanistanaux builds her ceramics entirely by hand, drawing from sources as far apart as the tidal remnants of the Northern California coast and the elemental charge of fire. Based in San Francisco, her practice unfolds across two bodies of work that hold each other in tension. The Relic series gathers coastal fragments, ancient-object forms and layered oceanic textures into vessels that carry a quiet grandeur, as if unearthed from another era rather than fired in a kiln. The Flames series reaches the opposite pole: Above The Flames and Climbing Flames approach fire as a force of transformation, their forms rising with heat and accumulated energy.
