I am supremely flattered to have four pieces on display in the Gallery at the Xiem Clay Center, including the Haphazard Teadust Vase below. Next to it are two vases by Jonathan Cross whom I met in October at the kazegama firing at Aardvark Clay. I admire his vases' brutalist look and his approach to finding native clay. Overlooking our works are two pieces by Joseph Umali Fernandez. I adore multimedia pieces that explore ceramics' characteristics and contrast them with other materials, and these are gorgeous. Very proud to be in their vicinity.
