Portfolio > Outdoor Firings

This body of work is about the containment and release of heat and light. I use ceramic materials to create forms which shape and articulate the energy source. I create large scale “kiln” sculptures that are fired outdoors as public performance pieces. I may use photo projection and audio effects to amplify the firing process. Other times, the ceramic process is left untouched by other medias. These pieces are always a response to the site and community in which they are built. The object afterward, whether functional or purely sculptural, is left as an artifact of the firing event.
