Eclecto

2017
Not on view
Distinguished by its dramatic tripod form and a combination of bright high-gloss glazes and rough textures—including embedded rock—Eclecto appears to erupt with energy. A closer look at the leg on the left reveals hints of blue and white embellishment that are now almost fully absorbed by protrusions and growths.
