I want to capture movement and breathe life into the clay. “Slung Slabs” stretches textures and infuses clay with a permanent sense of movement. My art has a physical and surface skin motion.
I make hand-thrown and slab-structured ceramics with earth tone glaze. Some of them have hand-carved decorations. My style is Japanese-inspired, and I was trained at art school in Kyoto, Japan.
Hand thrown stoneware. Hand decorated with a technique called glaze trailing I make a special thicken glaze when placed on the bisque and fired it gives the design a 3-D effect.
Nature meets modern design in my work. Functional, hand-built stoneware, primarily slabs with real and carved textures. Layers of glazes highlight these textures and give that natural presence.
Wheelthrown stoneware with incised flowing line designs with hand-sculpted flowers and leaves added on. Both functional and decorative pieces created with form, function, and beauty in mind.
