Crackled Surface flow vase

The Crackled Surface Flow vase.

The Crackled Surface Flow vase  renders the impressive lava that is continually flowing on the Surface of the earth at the Kilauea volcano.  The dramatic magma and the heat are represented by this exceptional red and the crackled texture, representing the cracking of the surface that happens as the lava emerges from deep within the core of the earth.

The Volcanic flow from Kilauea has been the source of inspiration for Daniel for many years. Witnessing the lava pouring and bursting through the cracks of the dry black lava rocks and into the ocean at times, is one of the most fascinating things we get to witness on this island. The pure raw creation of new land.

Kilauea is the home of PELE, the Hawaiian volcano goddess. Hawaiian chants and oral traditions tell, in veiled form, of many eruptions fomented by Pele before the first European saw the summit in 1823. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes on the planet and an invaluable resource for volcanologists who are able to study it up close due to its exclusively non-violent effusive activity.

Kilauea means “spewing” or “much spreading” in the Hawaiian language, referring to its frequent outpouring of lava.
