On way to pick up a pizza Sunday night and the sky opened out. Took the photo with my cell phone and abstracted in photoshop a little...
My interest in ceramics and photography is often overlapping. Objects of interest to me sometimes come from random fallen leaves or layering of mountain range upon mountain range. A blending of glaze over textured clay gives controlled random color. A clay surface becomes a focus for flat abstract photograph. Leaf or flower structure becomes inspiration for ceramic texture. Finding the art is my goal.

Got the fired results from the kiln Sat. morning. Iron and copper oxide on the slab built piece, approx 12" ht. Clear glaze and red under glaze at the raw edges. Hand rubbed the oxides to give non uniform look.

New sculpture for January
3 views of new work, to be bisk fired and then glazed. Approx 12" tall. My object was to make a sculptural hollow form and then cut away part of the body. I liked it when the clay started to open up but not quite thru the body completely leaving a ragged edge as oppossed to the smooth curved outside form.

New to the family of porcelain and home clay
Family of three, latest is top left.
This is the latest of my free form bowls with porcelain 5 clay mixed/layered with my home clays, biggest so far at about 12" across. No glaze or glass this time just natural colors of clay.
Clays were hand folded many times together and rolled to sheet before hand forming the bowl and exposing the rim textures and some carving. Fired at cone 5.
