Lately I have been trying to set myself up for chance in my work and searching for flawed beauty.
Cylindrical forms are slip-cast, fired, then cut into ring-like sections. The sections are then restacked and over-fired, inducing movement in the clay. Glaze, traditionally used to decorate and strengthen the ceramic vessel, is used here as an adhesive to join the piece back together. The glaze acts as a photograph of sorts, suspending they clay's movement in time.
