I was asked to show in Tustin, CA.
This is what I selected...the box series as it exists in an
installation. The images in the boxes are a doll head, an odd
slip form and one of my houses.
I posted this image of the boxes in my back yard, this image
is a better shot.
The other piece is a vase, charcoal fired with doll parts,
doll arms as handles. The clay has granite and porcelain
inclusions wedged into the stoneware.

In the spring, my kiln yard has multiple bird nests.
If the bird dies, I create a vessel and fire.
this is the result

This was a mixed media piece
with a collection of forms contained
in plastic sleeves. Pattern and texture

In my work with the box/cube, I assembled parts and
this was the result. The piece to me has a stance/posture
that feels like a kimono....

This is a current thread...forgive the backyard photo.
The left box has a doll head...the right box has
my porcelain slip odd form.
Issues of containment...content...things
within the box become for me a paradigm
of ideas....so you can take that where you want.

Some history...these were made about 20 years ago. The image remains a thread in my work. I think the boxes have become a context for other narrative work. I will post some things from grad school that explains my interest in the narrative. These were charcoal fired, a wonderful process that uses wood the for surface which is subtle and beautiful.
