Accession: 2001.36A-D || //Lake Powell Memory—Winter Rain// is one in a series inspired by visits to the flooded canyon of Lake Powell in Utah. Wayne Higby lightly sketched into the porcelain a rippling lake bordered by the raised outlines of towering mountains. The diagonal lines that cut across the landscape signify sheets of rain; the rough edges of the slab of clay and its two accompanying “boulders” suggest the jagged cliffs nearby. Higby’s interest in Asian ceramic techniques led him to glaze his work in celadon to produce a pale, misty effect.
