Welcome to a celebration of the beauty of imperfection and randomness in ceramic art.

When a sculptor or potter puts pieces into a kiln and heats the clay and glaze to over 2000 degrees, s/he loses control of the outcomes. Hundreds of variables are involved, and at best, the artist narrows the range of outcomes into a semi-predictable range.

In this show, I celebrate the excitement and disappointment that happens when the kiln lid opens, and the processes I use to get to that moment.
