A part of the journey of working in clay is discovering the plethora of possibilities when it comes to working with different clay bodies and glazes. I came across in my experiments the beauty of a brown clay body and a Jeffs Long Beach Blue glaze and worked in this constraint until I felt it ready to move on and seek another combination to play with for as many works as seem necessary to complete the discovery adventure.

​

These works are handcrafted, easefully, in my garden, often with the cat observing. Presently I like working with found textural fabrics, both items from ancestors as well as fabric art that has wound up in the second hand store.

​

It is a way of carrying forward the craftsmanship of the artist, who, is long gone and on to other things in other dimensions of time/space.

I like the notion the the impressions from their lace doilies and trimmings will extend their intention a bit more in this manifestation and fantasize burying them, or tucking them in a reef for a sea creature to discover and make a home out of.
