Peony Pillow Vase
Wayne Higby?s vision of the American landscape appears on his works ranging from individual vessel forms to arranged linear box sculptures and architectural installations. Often his early earthenware or stoneware vessels were hand-built with inlaid clay and raku fired. Later in his career he began to make slab built porcelain box compositions and explore a renewed interest in the bowl form.
He is known for his innovative contributions to the raku firing technique. Higby made numerous visits to China to work and, in 1994, this experience led to his use of porcelain. He gradually became drawn to tiles as a way to expand his landscape imagery. Over a period of four years, he created Earth Cloud, the largest porcelain installation in the world. It is installed in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University.
