These sculptural vessels are thrown on the wheel and then meditatively formed, carved and smoothed in several stages. These are the pieces that take the most time and care. They are inspired by clouds, blooms, waves, femme curves and whatever is on my mind. They are a swirling calm in a chaotic time.
Each soda fired piece is one-of-a-kind as atmospheric firings are unpredictable and can yield stunning results. Soda firing takes an enormous amount of time, energy, labor and resources and is usually a community effort. I love the way the soda swirls around and creates gradients on these forms.
Applying stripes and bands of glaze is a new approach for me–to lay out an even rhythm of color on an asymmetrical sculptural surface.
