The idea here was to create five clay heads, each one
representing a different element; Ahi for fire, Kai, moana for blue ocean, Papa
for green earth, La for yellow day, and Po for purple night. I tried to give them the look of a Tiki head
crossed with a small Aztec idol.
Starting with almost an entire pound of clay for each sculpture, I
proceeded to carve and etch marks in the figure. I also carved out the inside so that when
firing them they would not crack. With
what was left, I made horns of four kinds and on both sides of one I put
handles. After painting them, they were
left to dry and were later displayed at my art show in October.
