The Anthropocene and Lithified Vessels shown below are small, functional sculptures. But unlike most art in a museum or gallery, you're encouraged to touch and engage with these. They are high fired, fully vitrified and durable. Crafted for every day use. Two of the pieces were featured in recent art exhibits, but were not for sale.
The exterior texture on these pieces is applied randomly and allowed to develop cracks, which become cues for me to follow in sculpting fractures in the canyon walls. This feels like a collaboration with the clay in the moment. The cracks are only on the exterior surface and do not penetrate into the interior.
Below you will find videos for my Anthropocene and Lithified listings, to better convey their size, colors and textures.
Feel free to enlarge the videos.

Anthropocene
Inspired by encounters with fossils while hiking in the desert. This mug imagines a very distant future with canyon walls containing fossils from the Anthropocene age.

Lithified Vessels
Geologically inspired and self referential work. I'm coaxing my ceramic materials to resemble their true, rocky origins. These pieces explore the fragile, fractured and unpredictable nature of something so seemingly durable/solid.
Also an ode to the vibrant life precariously perched and thriving in tiny pockets of soil in cracking, deteriorating canyon walls.
