Laconic story so they draw inspiration from endangered or little know animals when designing and creating each piece then they add a little colour and voila.
Beasts and stories that speaks for itself.
The idea behind laconic story is that i make ceramic animal sculptures objects that is completed with a short story i can share about specific animals species at risk of extinction.
The animals are also endangered and or esoteric but are mostly animals i am unlikely to sculpt into wall sculptures also i am running out of space to store them i am running some test.
Using very few words.

It is documented here by a famous kylix goblet made in sparta shortly before the middle of the 6th century bc and attributed to the painter of archesilas ii.
