Tall Bottle w/ Rutile
21in.H x 11in.W
$700
a surprise... something unexpected...
a bit more heat and a far different result than
I had anticipated,
the color is difficult to describe, yet very enticing...
I'll be looking at this a while
the many faces of rutile...
Refired Turquoise Bottle
when experimenting with newer techniques
there are always questions
is this interesting enough, rough enough
quirky enough...
so I refired the seemingly popular turquoise bottle,
feeling confident in repeating that result
and then got this planetary marvel...
a chance worth having taken
a landscape I find
much more varied and interesting...
SOLD

there will be others coming...

Timid Bottle
13in.H x 7.5in.W
$500
somehow the dinnerware tests have led me here
perhaps this is where I needed to go
I have been offered a way forward and am grateful for that
now I just have to make a bunch more pots and keep trying
to find as many combinations as I can...

Hive Shaped Geyser Vent w/ Encrusted Minerals
19in.H x 9.5in.W
$2,500
Details of Geyser Vent
my goal here is for a surface evocative of the growth and accumulation of minerals and other metals as they might occur on the surface of a geyser vent or thermal vent in the ocean...
I don't want them to seem controlled, but rather to appear naturalistic and lacking the clues and methodology of their origin... lacking in the traditional notion of craftsmanship and all it's permutations and presumptions... I'm hoping for an organically grown appearance from layering and accumulation over time... randomness, naturalness and most importantly energy... lots of it...
