Subject: Poor fish
Medium: Clay, glaze, blender parts
Size: 15" (height)
Time: 20 hours

Artist notes: I'm a newbie to ceramics. Be gentle.

This project was to take a tool, I chose a blender and have it be utilized as something else. So instead of a blender being used as a blender, it is now an aquarium. Everything is ceramic except for the cord, the plastic jug part, the plant and rocks. I would never REALLY blend a fish. The fishie is most definitely made out of clay. :shakefish:

Edit: Oh my word. A DD for me! Thanks a million to `2dazed. :heart:

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-05-27
fish.in.aquarium by =Laartista This an overall wonderful piece. I find it inspiring in many ways. The main thing that sticks out in my mind when I view this, is the symbolism of a trapped living thing in a dangerous environment. Even though this Deviant is new to working with ceramics, I feel she did a great job of pulling off what she set out to do. The blending together of Conceptual Traditional Art that incorporates real life every day objects, helps to see things from a different perspective. ( Featured by `2dazed )

I love the mix of ceramic and plastic...not perfect but it doesn't have to be, it's conceptual art at it's finest. You're inspiring me!
