Alluvial

ALLUVIAL is a geologic term to describe soils, gravels, and sand that have been shaped by water on the earth’s surface. An alluvial landform shows a history of water movement in rivulets and depositions of soils. These pigmented, textured wall-mounted ceramic sculptures evoke water movement across the earth’s surface. The wall is dry painted with a soft wash gradient of blue pigment to create a watery feeling background that amplifies the glowing edge of the niche wall.
