Brutalist tower with Hummingbird Feeder
Handbuilt stoneware modules are stacked around an internal steel armature to form this modernist and brutalist inspired ceramic tower, with the top-most module funtioning as a hummingbird feeder.
The modules are bisque fired and assembled in order to be glazed as a whole, using a combination of slip, underglaze and cone 10 glazes, to achieve an overall gestural and painterly effect. They are then disassembled for the final high firing. The feeder module is highlighted with high gloss red glaze to attract the hummingbirds, and contains a nectar reservoir that is glazed with high gloss food safe glaze for easy filling and cleaning.
Towers pictured are between 13 - 15 modules high (~6’4” -7’4”). This listing is priced for a 14 module tower ~6’10” in height.
This piece is appropriate for outdoor applications. Listing includes hardware required for installation and an installation diagram, but installation will need to be handled onsite. Please contact me with questions before purchasing.
Made to order. Please contact me for current lead time if your need/project is time sensitive. My lead time varies widely from weeks to months depending on how many commissions I have in the works at any given time.
Delivery to LA and Ventura Counties available for a flat fee. For delivery elsewhere, I can arrange third party crating & shipping via a specialty shipping partner.
