Description

This ceramic piece is inspired by the Emily Dickinson poem, “If I could not stop for death”. The circular body is like the poem being told through artistic expression, through the carriage riding along in the countryside to a bright sunset. Additionally, the creator wanted to embody the “zoetrope” moving image style into an artistic ceramic way.
