Two Mountain Goats

Installation Information

Starting with an eight inch slab of clay, Chatterley slowly builds his forms, allowing each section to set up before the next slab is attached. It can take him several weeks to build each figure. His bubbly and bumpy surfaces are created with a signature crater glaze that the artist has developed. As Chatterley says, "These pieces are like dug up relics of a time to come." Each piece is fired twice with the second firing hot enough to vitrify the clay, allowing the sculptures to live outside year round.
