About Hive
This distinctive wall sculpture by master ceramicist Steven Heinemann was inspired by the natural world. Hive’s organic form is enhanced by its creamy white palette. Heinemann sanded into the surface of the clay to reveal air pockets caused by casting that add intriguing detail. The Canadian artist is widely recognized to have re-defined the limits of ceramic art.“Craft is about honouring the physical circumstances we find ourselves in--these bodies, this amazing world, this earth…” Steven Heinemann
