Created through a technique developed by the Haas Brothers, the brightly-colored "Accretions" exemplify the innovation and sense of whimsy for which the artist duo has come to be recognized for. The artworks are made through a meticulous multi-tiered process in which a brush dipped in pigmented porcelain slip is dragged along the sides of a hand-thrown clay vase, sometimes up to 10,000 times. The repetition of the stroke produces miniscule clay extensions across the object’s body that suggest the tentacles of a mysterious sea creature. Indeed, the works are inspired by the organic forms and growth patterns of ocean coral and funghi. The use of color is also an important facet, as the Haas Brothers’ leverage their custom-mixed pigments to evoke a sense of depth and subtle movement across the surface of the Accretions.
