| Artist's Statement: | |
| For many years Roland Summer has been refining a technique that combines the magical surfaces of Terra Sigillata with a raku firing that he calls “Lost Glaze” This technique is both complex and risky, leading to many failures, which he acknowledges as being part of the journey. When it works well, it creates beautifully delicate markings and smoky blushes. He has many ways to encourage the ingress of carbon and it is the subtlety of the markings that gives his work its distinctive magic. The pieces, which are coil built, combine classical elements of proportion and architectural refinement of form with the slight and deliberate irregularities created by the coiling process, this creates a tension that implies an inner pressure. The carbon markings seem to float within the depths of the polished translucent surface creating more tension between architectural coolness and the inherent warmth of the Raku process. They have a monumental quality, which gives them the power to dominate a space, but they also exude a subtle sensuality, their beautifully curved, mottled and spotted surfaces exerting a primitive power that invites touch.
