Land and Sea III - sold

17” x 11.5”

The stark and haunting beauty of the black fan coral led me to create "Land & Sea". By combining coral with elements of porcelain clay and horsehair impressions, I express my wonder and awe of the natural world.

Raku firing is a very exciting process whereby pottery is removed from the kiln while at very high heat. I use a Raku style firing process by removing my pottery from the kiln at 1000 degrees. The horsehair is applied to the surface and burns away, leaving a black carbon imprint. Horsehair pottery is an artform of creating unique one of a kind designs that cannot be replicated.
