Clay can be fluid as water, and stubborn as earth. My work is a collaboration with clay, feeling the way it behaves and responding in turn to create something unique, beautiful, and functional. I focus on form and shape, but retain functionality for daily use. The journey that clay goes through echoes the many changes water goes through from solid snowflakes landing on your tongue, to puddles splashing beneath your feet, and steam coming off of a freshly brewed cup of tea. In discussion with Dr. George Duffy, the phase changes of water as well as the unlimited forms of snowflakes resonated with me and how I view altering clay forms. Throughout history, there have been countless hands altering clay forms, causing each handmade pot to be unique, like snowflakes. These pieces celebrate the ever changing nature of water.
