Artist's Statement
The dramatic effects of wood-firing complete my work and tie it together.
In my wood-fired kiln (a blend of an anagama and a groundhog kiln), flame
and ask directly and strongly interact with the clay. Flame colors the work
and ash forms a natural glaze. At temperatures above the roughly 2250 degrees
F that the ash melts, the color palette is reduced to earh tones and some
greens and blues that will withstand the strong bleaching action of the
firing. The payoff is a soft, naturally varying blush reminiscent of moss
on rocks or the patina of long-buried artifacts.
