Hazardous Balance

Jason Fitzgerald

Hazardous Balance, 2025 stoneware, glaze 15 x 28 x 28 cm

'Hazardous Balance' explores the tension between order and chaos, merging bold geometric forms with organic textures. Black and yellow patterns evoke caution, while the speckled surface suggests transformation and impermanence. Sharp angles and dynamic composition challenge perceptions of stability. By juxtaposing contrasting elements, the sculpture crafts a delicate yet commanding visual language, inviting reflection on the fragility of balance in environments and experiences.
