Ceramic Vessel
2026
Each piece features a central spherical body that swells and strains against its own constraints, flanked above and below by extruded fin-like protrusions—simultaneously architectural and organic, recalling rocket thrusters, deep-sea creatures, and ceremonial armor in equal measure. The layered surface texture, a direct artifact of the printing process, is preserved intentionally: a record of the machine's motion, as honest as a potter's thumbprint. Glazed in four distinct registers blue reduction, a raw sandy bisque, a fluid cobalt wash with pooling drips, and a soft ash-grey with ink-brushed botanical marks—the series moves from industrial to elemental, from cosmic to contemplative. The unglazed forms are as deliberate as the glazed; the material itself becomes the finish.
