The Spirit of Coal

The Spirit of Coal
The Spirit of Coal
Derek Newton Lynch

The Spirit of Coal is a striking earthenware sculpture that captures the essence of energy and transformation. Crafted from ceramic and meticulously airbrushed, the piece evokes the deep, smoky richness of coal. Its sleek, abstract form rises with smooth curves that suggest motion and vitality, symbolizing the power trapped within the earth. The sculpture is anchored on a weathered wooden base, grounding the work in natural origins. The contrast between the refined ceramic and the raw wood highlights the tension between industry and nature. The Spirit of Coal serves as a tribute to coal’s historical significance and enduring spirit.
