Cornu Glaciei, 2018, 18 x 24 x 12"
WISDOM AND DOMINION
The Cornu Series ('horn' in Latin) was introduced by Debra Steidel in early 2016 and proved to be a carnal and ravishing showcase.
Horns have been a symbol of wisdom and rulership throughout ancient history as they are an animal's weapon. In many cultures, it represents a symbol of strength and aggressiveness. Combining this strength with the delicacy of the porcelain form provides a voluptuous dichotomy.

Evolution of Form
"I designed 'Cornu' to cast in glass and bronze from my original porcelain sculpture, long before I knew what I would do with it. Working on an open form, I wanted to span the piece over the open space across the vessel to rest in a cradle."
- DEBRA STEIDEL
"Although inspired by a horn, I altered it just enough in shape and texture to add mystery and intrigue. "
