"Forces of Nature"

A dramatic interplay of texture, color, and form evokes the powerful forces that shape the earth. Bands of volcanic-like surfaces, molten copper tones, and deep charcoal glazes suggest layers of rock transformed by heat, pressure, and time. The vessel's sculptural form celebrates the unpredictable beauty of natural processes.

"Fault Line #1 "

Inspired by the shifting layers of the earth, this sculptural vessel combines flowing turquoise and deep blue glazes with a rugged band of volcanic-like texture. Its irregular rim and contrasting surfaces evoke the effects of erosion, mineral deposits, and geological change, capturing the beauty of nature's unpredictable forces.

"Ridge Lines"

Inspired by the layered ridges of mountain landscapes, this sculptural vessel combines carved textures with bands of volcanic-like surfaces and flowing glazes. Earthy creams, smoky blues, and warm rust tones suggest ancient rock formations shaped by erosion and time. The interplay of rough and smooth surfaces creates a sense of movement and geological depth.

"Round About"

A rounded, organic form with a richly textured surface reminiscent of weathered volcanic stone. Layers of earthy ochre, rust, charcoal, and ivory create the appearance of ancient rock shaped by heat and erosion. The contrast between the rugged exterior and smooth, dark opening emphasizes the vessel's sculptural simplicity and raw, elemental character.

 "Layers of Time"

This low, rounded vessel evokes the weathered layers of ancient stone. A deeply carved band encircles the form, contrasting with softly textured surfaces in shades of ivory, pale blue, and earthy brown. Subtle variations in glaze suggest mineral deposits and the gradual effects of erosion, celebrating the quiet beauty of geological change.

"After the Fire"

Rich copper, amber, and charcoal glazes flow across a deeply textured surface reminiscent of cooled lava and fractured volcanic rock. Fine fissures and crater-like formations reveal the interplay of heat, movement, and transformation. The vessel's rounded form contrasts with its rugged exterior, capturing the raw beauty and energy of the earth after fire.
