Spiral (lapse 4) is one of Von Allen’s archetypal handlike forms. Its curves swell upward and outward from a tenuously narrow base, while its colorful matte exterior achieves great richness and depth. The sculpture’s smooth surface and timeless anthropomorphism formally connect it with early stone carving and vessel traditions as well as with modernist abstract sculpture. Stoneware, fired at a high temperature, results in a nonporous and durable clay body, and is often used in the creation of large-scale ceramic sculpture.
