Abstracted cylinder and bowl. The cylinder became a planter and the bowls became a vase. These were demos for students. .

Im thinking about the evolution of my craft and how it relates to the evolution of life forms~ This piece is awaiting the glaze fire. .

It's a creature of the mud. It's also a creature of the pottery wheel. A flopped cylinder was the starting point of this worm. .

This specimen began as a wheel thrown bowl. The bowl flopped over but instead of scrapping it, I used it as a starting point for a new idea. The bowl became the midsection.~ Like Bob Ross use to say, "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents". 👨🏼🎨 .

Peach pit for scale. More than 100 tiny toads hop around all day in this backyard that is mowed and maintained. I imagine how much more life this yard could harbor if it were unmaintained and left alone to grow.
Our eurocentric ideas of yard maintenance are enormously wasteful. More beauty and life can be enjoyed with less work and money.
Thoughts?

My thesis work in gradschool is about the interdependent relationships of organisms. A diverse community of pieces in the cluster creates a more successful work. It's like an unmaintained plot of land near Notre Dame's ice arena. Here, they let the vegetation grow wild. Left alone, the plants self organize into a beautiful and robust society of organisms who's roots web together for heightened defense. At the same time, they offer shelter to bugs and birds. It is a diverse collective, a complex system of interwoven relationships. .

I'm pretty happy to occupy a public space with an installation. These creatures are under the stairs at the Duncan Student Center at the University Notre Dame

The texture and color that comes from a lot of glaze and a reduction cool👌

This piece is inspired by pollinating organisms. I coil built up, then flipped it to finish the form upside down. Finally, I turned it on its side and made some additions. This way of working from various perspectives is an intuitive process that opens the door to forms I could never think of otherwise. I couldn't sketch this, I don't have the skills. I certainly didn't think of it in the conventional way. It is a true "making as a way of thinking" process.

Great morning studio vibes. So grateful to call this spacious studio my own! Making the most of gradschool by using the summer to make work for my thesis exhibition. Nothing but open, relaxed, creative, making for the next three months.
