Relic Chrome arrives with the surface texture of something drawn from depth: a heavily pitted dark pewter stoneware, crater-like across the body, small white mineral accretions breaking through the rough glaze.
Flanking the upper body are two symmetrical clusters of spiraling ammonite coils, the most legible the Relic series produces against a dark ground. Sierra Kanistanaux developed these fossil-derived forms as the formal signature of the Relic series, coastal fragments and ancient-object forms encoded in ceramic.
Handbuilt in San Francisco. The coil definition varies with the glaze pull: no two firings read exactly the same.

About
Sierra Kanistanaux
Sierra Kanistanaux is a self-taught ceramic artist based in San Francisco. Each piece she creates tells a unique story that contributes to a larger narrative, evoking nature, mythology, ritual and eternal symbols that transcend time and culture. Through texture, pattern, and form, she aims to awaken the senses and elevate our experience of the places we inhabit. Her work draws on the places she has called home, from the architectural elements of Europe and the Mediterranean to the natural forms of Montana and Northern California. The Relic series, her most active body of work, gathers shells, coastal fragments and ancient-object forms into pieces that hold the weight of another time.
