Kiln Preparation Stacked Tunisia Tunisian Upside Down Vase Mike Dixon
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the art of pottery in a kiln before firing, capturing the essence of Tunisia's rich cultural heritage. The image transports us to the village of Moknine near Sousse, where skilled artisans meticulously prepare their creations for the transformative process. The pots, stacked upside down with precision and care, create an intriguing visual composition against the backdrop of the kiln's fiery interior. The choice to stack them this way is not only practical but also symbolic; it represents a moment of anticipation and preparation before these vessels are reborn through fire. The day is bright outside as sunlight bathes this outdoor workspace, illuminating every detail of each pot. Their varied shapes and sizes hint at their future purpose - from homeware to vases or even urns - showcasing both functionality and artistic expression. Tunisia's unique location on Africa's northern coast infuses its pottery with distinctive colors and patterns that reflect its diverse cultural influences. This particular piece captures those vibrant hues beautifully, adding depth and character to each object within the kiln. Photographer CM Dixon skillfully captures this scene, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also providing insight into Tunisian traditions passed down through generations. Through his lens, we witness a moment frozen in time – one that celebrates creativity, skillful technique, and reverence for ancient craftmanship.
