Relief Map
Pattern reads as diagram
Animal classification · Webs in glaze
ArachnidsTextured surfaces · dramatic shadows · editorial tension
Web patterns behave like diagrams: relief and glaze create a high-contrast read under museum light. This room is built for close texture study.
Classification Note
Arachnid works are about surface logic: web geometry, tension lines, and the way glaze clings to ridges. Photograph with raking light to expose relief.
Index by pattern families (web, spiral, radial), glaze behavior, and maker circles. Add underside marks and closeups as primary evidence.
