The fixed dimensions of a room and the changing nature of clay through its making and firing process require a mastery of the materials and process that can feel a bit daunting So when a friend and …
River Blessing
The gods have always permiated my work and the the idea of divinity of the earth itself have long been a central theme there. So it’s seems very surprising that making magic with art was not something I started playing with until early in 2020. Some how the two ideas felt very separate, or maybe …
