Patina, permanence, and the passage of time.
In my work, I explore how time and our interactions with everyday objects affect the world around us, focusing on how manmade objects are gradually worn down over time.
My artistic process involves coiling and pinching the clay to form the final object. I then add layers of slip, colored with black stain and iron oxides, to create depth. Finally, I apply several coats of terra sigillata, burnishing between layers to give each coating a lustrous sheen.
My work is created in porcelain and fired to cone 7 in an electric kiln. This is my 12th year participating in Open Studios and my 11th as part of the planning team.
