My Work
Like sunlight passing over the landscape, fire and soda vapor flow across the wares adding warm colors permanently illuminating the vessels’ surfaces. Swirling gases surround the molten forms, moving through and around them, seeking escape. The fleeting journey of the flame is captured on varied toroidal forms representing the artist’s perception of light moving through time and space.
