Layered Reflections
This collection of hand-built platters captures the quiet dialogue between inner stillness and external motion—between fire, earth, water, and the human hand. Each piece is shaped not just by clay and glaze, but by the emotional textures of the moment: curiosity, surrender, imperfection, and presence.
The surfaces ripple, echo, and bloom with organic movement, but beneath these natural references is a deeper meditation on becoming—how repetition grounds us, how transformation leaves a mark, and how beauty can emerge in the tension between chaos and calm.
These platters are more than functional forms—they are layered reflections. They invite pause, a return to breath, and a reminder that even stillness carries motion, and every mark tells a story of change.
Verdant Echo
This piece feels like a fossilized garden—as if you pressed the memory of a forest floor into clay. The pattern is organic and cellular, resembling lichen, moss, or coral structures. It’s both earthy and ethereal, capturing the delicate tension between growth and stillness. The repeating impressions radiate outward with quiet energy, creating a meditative rhythm.
It speaks of attention to the unnoticed, a slow unraveling of beauty in repetition. This platter embodies the restorative, grounding quality of the process—a hands-in-the-earth kind of peace.
Quiet Uprising
This hand-built platter draws the eye inward with its sweeping, flame-like imagery and cool, watery center. The rim bursts with earthy, feathered streaks -- like wind-tossed leaves or embers, while the interior pools into soft shades of mint, sand, and smoke. Made through an intuitive process, the piece speaks to the tension between chaos and calm, fire and water. The uneven edges and subtle warping further celebrate the hand that formed it: imperfect, intentional, and wholly unique. This is a quiet nod to nature’s raw, unpredictable beauty.
Centering
This piece feels like an echo from the natural world—a geological bloom, a watery mandala, or a magnified cross-section of a forest spring. The layered, wavy glaze creates a visual rhythm that pulls the eye inward, like ripples in a pool or rings in a tree. Its organic energy is palpable, yet it holds a sense of stillness at the center, like a quiet breath at the heart of movement.
This platter is decorative but grounded in feeling—it carries the emotional resonance of the process, the calming repetition of glaze application, and the surprise of how fire finishes the story. It’s a piece that reflects curiosity, surrender, and the therapeutic nature of layering touch after touch.
