For those of us that aren’t in London and able to see it in person at @lamb.gallery @32stgeorge with @studiowright_ 

The Pyroclast Teapot named after the pyroclastic flows of a volcano.  This is a one off piece in which the sacrificial mold was hand carved. The molten metal reacts with the residual water in the mold to create steam. 

When casting you generally create vent holes and sprues so the pressure can be released but I intentionally didn’t add them so the mold would explode underground. Creating all the visible fissures. 

After hand peening the inside, I spent hours carefully welding the pieces back together creating the finished vessel. 

The wooden insert of the box was carved along the contours of the organic shape of the pot so the two fit together like a puzzle. An imprint like a stone lifted from the earth, peaking through lava tubes. 

Earth is so beautiful and terrifying, the way it destroys and rebuilds ad infinitum.  With complete disregard for anything outside its perpetual flow. No end goal no control, just this forever and ever.

Thanks the my friend @charles_billot as usual the the beautiful photos.
