Bananas Sculpture

The theme of bananas has particular significane in my homeland Taiwanese history. The Taiwanese banana, once the king of Fruits in Taiwan from the 1930s to the 1960s, is smaller than Caribbean bananas, also more chewy and sweet. I hope its viewers think about the international economic trade in other countries and cultural awareness. I used a volcanic glaze on the surface of the piece to mirror the geological instability on Taiwan, with its nine volcanoes and regular earthquakes (as a little girl I often had to practice earthquake evacuations). During firing at different temperatures, the layers also began to react to create lava-like bubbles in the glazes. For me,the volcanic glaze is a skin of the ceramics. The varieties of glazes were responding to my expression. I used the volcanic glaze to glue the gap between each banana.
