Dish and Vessel Gallery

I call these "destructed" vessels burnt offerings because they not only represent my homage to the medium and the power of heat and fire, but also create a challenge of healing what has been destroyed to make it beautiful and balanced. The enamel imagery often suggests flaying or dissecting the innards of the piece to reveal what’s beneath. The medium challenges me to burrow under its surface. I want the satin finishes to be handled and caressed. I want light to play on and through the pieces. At the moment when I fire each layer of enamel in a piece I give up control and let the heat of the kiln move the work as it is want to do for technical reasons pertaining to expansion coefficients and the properties of the materials involved. Ultimately it is in giving up some control that I feel the most satisfaction.
