Spire Bloom – Sculptural Ceramic Plant Form
Spire Bloom is a striking handmade ceramic sculpture by Canadian artist Bob Acton. With its pointed, pale green root base and upright leaf-like blades, the piece evokes both aloe and agave forms—yet the real intrigue emerges from the central spire: a segmented yellow stem that culminates in a pale blue pod tipped with a vivid red point.
This abstract botanical sculpture belongs to Acton’s Invented Ecologies series, which imagines flora that might evolve in speculative, hybridized environments. Matte surfaces, subtle oxide washes, and bold contrasts give this piece a tactile, earthy presence—suggesting growth, emergence, and resilience.
A one-of-a-kind artwork ideal for collectors of contemporary ceramics or lovers of nature-inspired sculpture.
