Relational Vessels
I am motivated by the exploration of the qualities of the medium, and the experience that these physical objects project into the world. I am drawn to complex abstract patterns and minimalist archetypal forms that reflect the geometries of nature.
My paper thin unglazed porcelain works are centered on the luminous qualities of this translucent material. For my white works, I am painting soluble flux (silver) on the bisque fired clay. The flux melts the clay during the vitrification firing, subtly distorting the form and locally increasing its translucency, creating 'light window' patterns in the surface.
