Installation process. Award winning ceramic outdoor water sculpture by Michelle Maher - Pollen Hotspot. Shown here at the National Craft Gallery Garden at Bloom 2009, the Phoenix Park, Dublin. The piece is inspired by microscopic pollen grains - measured in nanometers these tiny grains are perhaps natures greatest sculptures. The pollen were hand sculpted in my own grogged paper clay body and high fired in an electric kiln to 1260°C (Cone 8). www.ceramicforms.com.
