It was so satisfying to build a Mishima texture with just 2 colours of clay and a repeating pattern.

Sometimes I make bowls.

Here is the quick 30-second how-to for my nerikomi fold bowls.

First batch of slip casted fingers was a success.
They will be part of a sculpture, some have been modified after the slip cast, which I didn’t know I could do.
Peace out!

Onward, 2024
Stoneware ceramic, found metal, glaze.
“Onward” is about the journey of humanity, exerting itself to keep on, to stay the course, sometimes without thinking enough about the endgame.

“Jumelles”, 2025
Stoneware ceramic , found metal, moss

This piece is about shortsightedness.
A window into the micro,
A window into the consequences.

Can we look further than the end of our noses.

Learning something new this last month: making a 2-part mold for slip casting.
Part 1, half of the mold is done. Thanks #tikitechnicaltuesday for teaching me.
Fave part: sticking fingers in creamy alginate.
Worst: breaking master fingers.
