On Growth and Form: 33 Piece Vase Family
Tea Bowls for Unicorns (From the Conceptual Tea Bowl Series)

This series illuminates the process of drinking tea. Rather than experiencing the utilitarian nature of tea and it's container, these pieces push the experience of process directly to the mind for consumption of thought itself. One hand clapping.

Time Bowls: Refill When Water Evaporates

Fill the bowls up with water and let evaporate. With the cycling and changing climate conditions the water within these bowls will vary in evaporation time. The bowls are designed to help further our understanding of time within the capacity of weather conditions.
78 Pounds

The total weight of this storage jar is 78 pounds, including the sand inside. This is the average life expectancy of a white male living in the US. Remove 10 pounds of sand every year. When the jar becomes empty, break and put back together with epoxy and gold leaf between the cracks. The piece is then completed.
Crucibles for Edward Muybridge

These works are about capturing process in motion. These crucibles are fired in a high fire kiln to 2350 degrees F. With weak areas and support areas built into the pieces the clay is allowed to move freely within the kiln and solidify as it cools.
 
Urns

Each urn was made from unfired porcelain. Put ashes in urn and release into body of water. Clay will dissolve while ashes dissipate.
Epitaphs For Birth And Death

Rearrange when someone you love is born or dies.
