Shade

A Reconciled Body

Year

2024

Materials

Stoneware
Natural ash glaze

Works that emerge from the tension between exposure and shelter, light and shadow. Each sculpture is a dialogue with its own silhouette — examining how forms cast shadows that become part of their meaning.

To be shaded is to be partially hidden, partially revealed. These pieces explore the body's relationship to threshold — the liminal space where presence and absence meet, where a form begins to dissolve into its surroundings.

The natural ash glaze responds to the kiln's atmosphere, creating surfaces that are never fully predictable — surfaces that carry the memory of fire and air.
