Work In Progress
Work in Progress
Everything here starts with something I can’t stop thinking about: a war, an election, a bee-less field, a seedling pushing through concrete. I sketch it, print it and argue with it, and the ideas that survive end up in the kiln.
I work in ceramics, kiln-fired glass, screen-printed enamel and gold leaf. The materials matter. Glass and clay are fragile but they last. Gold leaf is thinner than breath, yet it never tarnishes. Fire makes things permanent, and I like that tension when the subject is how easily democracy, peace and the natural world can be damaged, and how stubbornly they come back.
Two themes keep recurring: the fragility of our institutions and the resilience of nature. A slogan on a broken wall. A green shoot where a flag might have been. The work isn’t trying to tell you what to think. It’s trying to make you stop and look.
These pieces are unfinished, and some may change completely before they’re fired. I’d rather show you the process than wait until everything’s polished.
