🔥🔥The Process of Creating Terracotta Sculpture Works

✌️ IG: rattapob _

During the work of this piece is 2019. Before that, it was a normal kid who liked to draw clay (but didn't practice or study in this area seriously). I saw the poster of the National Juvenile Art Contest. The 14th time was placed in front of the school art room, so I wanted to try it out, but I didn't know what to do or talk about (at that time, the program didn't have any content). I thought about the last days, I chose something close to this. During that time, the regulations, costumes, hairstyles in most schools were stricter than the present and the issues that people were constantly interested in because of the news of the student haircut or the punishment. They often appear, and it's a point that many people question.

But the personal view at the time saw these regulations as contributing to a certain culture in the education system that followed each other, was the same, and felt safe. These things had far-reaching effects, causing children to lack personality, not to express themselves or think differently, thus leading to the creation of works in the idea of reproduction by creating half-terracotta figures that were in stiffness, bent down, without ears, eyes, cutting perceptions to look powerless in bargaining. They could only remain silent, lay out in line with each other, and add parts that could be disassembled to symbolize the body under control.

🏷️ the process of creating a workpiece.

1. Bring clay to massage, prepare to scavenge the air. Spread moisture inside the soil.

2. Make the desired shaping. Use wood molding to decorate the shape.

3. Use a water-plated sponge to twist the surface.

4. Create Texture by slowly knocking the stone onto the workpiece (when the soil starts to set)

5. Use an exfoliating plastic bag to add gloss before burning.

6. When the workpiece is dry, it can be burned at all by outdoor burning, using fuel, many kinds of wood mixed with charcoal, giving a temperature of about 700-800 degrees.

7. When the workpiece cools down until it can be moved, take the integrity check and clean.

8. Workpiece pack ready to transport and install respectively

⛰️ clay (pot house clay, Maha Sarakham * is clay that mixes clay (Grog), fired clay, or earthenware shards that are ground; mixes other materials such as husk, rice straw, sand, etc.; pottery is a fine ground fire lump; mixed in clay, so that the soil is qualified for forming; reduces the clay of the clay when burning, so that it does not shrink too much until distorted, allowing it to burn outdoors)

"Untiled."
