Breaking Point 2024

These pieces became an exploration in pushing the limits of clay, stretching it to its breaking point and finding beauty in that breaking point: a threshold to a new form that is freer and full of movement and light!

Clay as a material develops a ‘memory’ of being turned on the wheel, that motion is inherent in these pieces- the effect can continue under the intense heat of the kiln, causing them to warp and twist. This furthers the expression of transfiguration that I love about clay. It requires finding an ease in risk that can lead to discovery as well as a deeper sense of creativity and integration.

More images and process coming soon!!
