This is one of the largest and heaviest backyard clay piece I have made to date! This piece was made with about 15 pounds of backyard clay. It's incredibly functional because of it's size and is a very powerful statement in any piece it enters. The sky blue around the side was added to the piece while it was still wet on the wheel and I'm so happy with how it turned out!
 
These pieces are made in conversation with the continuing ties and meanings that connects all of my work. These piece feel like an honest reflection of my experience and place in this world. The fluid figurines flowing into one another and creating new forms as they collide are symbolic of the invisible strings that tie all living things to each other. For it is only through others that we may find ourselves and it’s only through others that I have found myself. 
 
This piece was made with clay I unearthed and dug up from my backyard in Vermont. Which is why you may notice there’s many “burnout holes” caused by leftover organic material in my clay which combusts in the kiln leaving a hole in place of where the stick or debris was before. This does mean these pieces aren’t food safe but are so much more alive and just as functional! I hope you can feel the energy and love that went into the process and the piece when you hold it.
