{"product_id":"haibun-hummingbird-burner","title":"Haibun Hummingbird Burner","description":"\u003cp\u003eTime anew, harvesting nectar.\u003cbr\u003eFlowers keep my wings from drowning rain.\u003cbr\u003eLife, surrounded by sweetness of honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final class of each convening of my flagship ceramics course, Imaginary Objects, is dedicated to an experimental challenge. For the Winter session, we took a favorite or created poem then let our intuitions guide us in striking words to reduce the structure into something akin to haiku while either retaining or transforming the meaning. I began with a verse composed by poet and cousin Imani Harris, called \"Honey.\" I reduced it quickly and the resulting poem sounded very clearly written from the perspective of a hummingbird.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI sketched a contour drawing of a hummingbird in flight then reduced that shape to a short segment. For this Imaginary Object we rolled a d10 to get a random function — I serendipitously rolled Incense Burner. I imagined this burner as a freestanding ribbon glazed only on its widest plane, all the way around. Its curvilinear shape is subtly cantilevered, making an impossible shape possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 2026. Materials: ceramic stoneware, Midnight glaze, and poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis burner is designed to accommodate bamboo-core stick incense, incense cones, and rope incense. No incense is included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DEEP BLACK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45173954641943,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9794\/3063\/files\/IMG_5845-2.jpg?v=1780459915","url":"https:\/\/deepblack.shop\/products\/haibun-hummingbird-burner","provider":"DEEP BLACK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
