Higby Green Terrace Canyon Analysis

Decent Essays

One of my favorite pieces by Donald Higby can be found at http://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/online/higby/ is called Green Terrace Canyon, 1975. This earthenware bowl was made using glazed earthenware and raku-fired. Higby’s creations generate landscape imaginings that is boldly displayed on the interior and the outside of the object, therefor producing the impression of depth. The natural rocks that are incorporated into the bowl are placed in such a way that it forms landscapes of mountains, rivers and other amazing sights that can be found in the world.
