About letsgoawayforawhile

This intriguing large blue clay piece by Canadian artist Steven Heinemann bridges the divide between sculpture and ceramics. The teardrop-shaped vessel appears deflated and gently curved as if it is flowing down the steel shelf it sits on. Heinemann’s organic form is inspired by nature. The title was borrowed from a favourite Beach Boys song that was first featured on their ground-breaking album, ‘Pet Sounds’ in 1966. Heinemann is considered a master ceramicist whose innovative and imaginative work has redefined the limits of ceramic art.

“The form has many origins both in and outside the language of pottery and containment, the sensation of being and embodiment, and like the above seems to be caught in a moment of change or transition.” Steven Heinemann
