Diatom Series: Sage
Clay, Slip, Glaze, Various Flux, Multiple Firing
Vince Palacios' Diatom Series celebrates the quiet beauty and significance of the natural world through intimate ceramic forms inspired by microscopic diatoms. Drawn to their delicate, jewel-like structures, Palacios creates organic sculptures finished with a custom high-silica glaze that echoes the glass-like shells of these remarkable organisms. Though small in scale, the works reflect the profound role diatoms play within Earth's ecosystems, offering a poetic meditation on the idea that even the smallest forms can possess enduring beauty, importance, and presence.
