Spirit Houses

 These houses are part of an ongoing series. Strictly non-functional in a utilitarian sense, they function for the soul. They evoke different things for different people. I have had them likened to buildings in Spain as well as the Orient. I think that they may be remnants of buildings and places that I remember, growing up in South Carolina..
They have followed me for some time.
Consisting mainly of low fired clay, red earthenware and white raku body, they have been fired several times to achieve the end results.

Memories...ghosts...spirits of past and present. Images, glimpses...shelters of and for ones thoughts.
