sculpture

11.75. x 7.25 x 3″

My ceramic work is defined by my love of the human form. A childhood love of fantasy finds its way into my work. I express the absurdity of life while drawing influence from unexpected sources like the lyrics of music and nursery rhymes. I have a clear vision of a finished piece before I start. With this idea in mind I immediately start with a combination of wheel thrown pieces, coils and slabs. I alter by pinching, cutting and adding clay until my idea emerges. My pieces are decorated with colored slips and underglazes while still wet. After the 1st firing I add pigmented washes and glazes. My 2nd firing is to 2232°. The last firing to add 24k gold details completes the process.
