To create my torsos, I cast a life model in plaster and then I make a mould from the cast. Each ceramic torso is press moulded using tiny pieces of clay which I incise with different patterns before joining them together.
The torso sculpture is then fired in an electric kiln before it is smoke fired.
To see more please go to my website www.annakeiller.co.uk.
My idea when I made this torso was to show the human body as a landscape, or at one with the land – Mother Earth personified.
