I am currently
exploring the addition of nichrome wire to my wheel thrown work.
This high fire wire is inserted at the leather hard stage then
fired in my gas kiln to 2300 degrees. This process adds
dimensionality,texture and a mixed media effect. Continuing my
quest for intriguing surfaces, I am working with layered Mason
stains and trimming with a wire brush. My slip cast work continues
to be inspired by found objects, poetry and the juxtaposing of
seemingly disparate patterns, images and themes.
