Ceramic Bead Screen
A unique sculptural screen composed of individually hand-carved marbled stoneware beads and black agate, set within a finely joined Douglas fir frame.
49 ½ x 26 x 61 ⅞
Ceramic, Agate, Douglas Fir, and Ebony
One of the most challenging pieces I’ve ever created. Every one of the 528 ceramic beads was individually hand-carved for this screen.
Using a custom script written by @alitorbati , I was able to generate a pattern that arranges the ceramic beads with 113 black agate beads, spacing them according to the digits of π.
The frame is entirely handmade from Douglas fir, joined with ebony. This is my first mixed media piece, and it pushed the limits of what I’m capable of making.
I couldn’t have done it without the help of my friends.
