Family Series #1
Midfire and stoneware clays oxidation and reduction fired

My recent work has explored the form of the vase as a “person”. Physically a pot is like a person with a neck, shoulders, belly, hip, and foot. People are shaped by their environment, and likewise so are pots when undergoing their firing process. An oxidation or reduction environment can completely change the outcome of a vessel. I find it interesting how certain pots naturally cluster together, just like how people naturally form their own groups or communities. I view this
series like a group of family or friends.
