'Spiritual Housewares,' a throwback from August 2023, when visiting family in Atlantic, Iowa, USA. Taken on an Olympus Pen FT on 400 speed film, though I don't now recall the lens or film brand. A charming and very photographable city. #photography #halfframe #monochrome

Big walled city before addition of underglaze and pit firing- I like how the plain white catches shadows. #WIP #ceramics #sculpture

Views of a deep city prototype before and after pit firing. I can see I'll need to do a bit more underglazing on future work to get what I'm looking for, but I'm learning. Post-apocalyptic with a pop of color too much to ask? #ceramics #sculpture

Think I'll call this one 'What Had We Here?' Gotta check how things look halfway in shadow and halfway in light. #ceramics, #sculpture

A new piece before and after pit firing. Surprised it survived, as this started as about 700 grams of clay with approximately 2 cups of rice husk mixed in- expected disintegration. Experimenting with applications of pigmented powder in place of underglaze. #ceramics, #ceramicdesign, #sculpture

I used to hand-carve stamps to combine in various configurations. Last show, I devised a reconfigurable press mold inspired by traditional brick-making techniques and letterpress printing. First run all 10cm square, max depth 10cm. Now trying different sizes. #Ceramics #CeramicDesign #Sculpture
