Ceramics

All my work is thrown, often altered and assembled, in a coarse textured terra cotta.

When leather-hard the surfaces are created with brushed slips and paper resist. After bisque work is selectively stained and wax resisted before glazing to 1125 c. I seek harmony between form and surface using cubist distortion techniques to reference pottery forms and play with perspective.
