Ancestral Beings I is one of two twinned ceramic sculptures by artist Juliana Inniss. Employing her methods of slab and coiling, a relief can be seen with an abstracted form of a rectangular, anthropomorphic head and body, containing a recognizable face. On the verso there is a slab acting as a support and the neck. The ceramic is finished with a blue and gold glazing on the front. In an artist statement, Inniss describes that:
"The creation of my work is the process of seeing textures, patterns and details in nature and the environment around me and capturing and recording these patterns on the surface of my ceramic work. The majority of my work is hand-built through the simple yet very intimate methods of pinching, slab and coiling. I glaze my work using a modified contemporary approach to Raku firing, a Japanese firing technique reserved for the tea bowls of Japanese royalty. My work is a Caribbean expression infused with elements of tradition and modernity."Ancestral Beings I is one of two twinned ceramic sculptures by artist Juliana Inniss.
