Artist's Statement
My works are mostly wheel thrown vessels. Occasionally, hand built clay embellishments accompany my pieces. My works these days are mainly focused on Oxidation firing (Electric Cone 6) and Pit firings. All my Oxidation fired vessels are functioning wares and are dishwasher, microwave oven, and food safe. My Pit fired vessels are display art vessels and will not hold water since they don’t have glaze on them. The Pit firing technique is one of the primitive firing methods that I enjoy making. Because the vessels created in this method don’t have glaze on them, they have warmth to the touch and very organic look about them. I experiment with different forms of pits or kilns, chemicals, and organic materials from my surroundings to enhance the color of my pieces but in the end, unpredictability of the dancing flames is what completes the vessel.
