Porcelain
Photographer: Anthony Grant
My current body of work explores qualities of porcelain that are normally discarded by craft and industry while celebrating the object’s practical utility. By fettling, stretching and distorting wheel thrown components, I reveal cracks, tears and folds, within the abstraction of mark. Glaze is then applied to enhance this texture by giving it tone and depth. My intention is to make a range of contemporary objects that are used and enjoyed within the domestic setting.Â

I am a ceramic artist from Washington State. My work expands on the traditions and trends of studio pottery and its identity within the modern household. Designed on the potter’s wheel, made in batches, and glazed, my tableware embodies the handmade process within the integrity of the material. My practice is experimental, inventive, and playful, enabling me to render many different variations of surface and form.
Upon graduating I will continue to establish my career as a ceramic artist by traveling and exhibiting worldwide. Most recently, I have been accepted as a resident for the 2014 European Ceramic Context in Bornholm, Denmark where I will be expanding on my graduate work.
