Wedding Gift - Now Fired

Following on from my preceding post showing the pre-firing images (Another Wedding Gift - 14 December) here are some images of a commissioned wedding gift, taken from different angles and in different positions. The symbolic and significant elements include gestures of reaching towards each other and of finding togetherness whilst remaining individual, embracing, and the inner space, a greater ratio (relative to previously) of material mass to non-material mass, i.e. absence of clay (which was a key component of the brief). The piece measures approx. 50cm x 45cm x 30cm. Again, purposely not fixed permanently onto a base - i.e. no hole drilled in the bottom, piercing the form to insert a fixing to set the piece onto the base - so the piece can be positioned in a variety of ways (see post dated 04/01 'A Hanging Experiment'):
