Abstract surface function ware 2023-2024

Hand built porcelain and stoneware, underglaze, underglaze pencils, colored slip, stains, washes, glaze

For functional pieces, I layer slips, glazes, underglazes, and washes to build depth in the surfaces. I embrace the unpredictability of this process, choosing not to test anything beforehand - this aspect of my practice is all about letting go of control. It's purpose is exploration of color, function, and mark making. Focusing on the surface allows me to broaden my understanding of the medium and aids in the overall betterment of my practice.

Beetle Jars are my line of ‘dysfunctional’ function ware. The focus of following work wasn't functionality; the decorative aspect played a much bigger role in my creative choices.
