Medium: Stoneware, glaze, wood fired
Dimension: 12”, 4x4 / 9” smallest 5”2x3

Title: Keystroke, 2071
Medium: porcelain with a shino glaze / Dimension: 4”x 6”
Statement: “This is an example of a small lidded pot, fired in the gas kiln. It has a shino glaze, which exhibits the effects of reduction firing. The oxygen-starved environment inside the kiln during the firing extracts oxygen from the glaze and clay body to keep the flame burning. When things go well, the result is dark greyish-greenish-black colours on the pot, where carbon is trapped within the glaze. On the day of this firing, the kiln gods must have smiled on us and gave me this piece demonstrating the effects of a shino glaze and a good atmospheric firing.

Medium: clay and wire / Dimension, h. 23 cm, w. 18 cm, d. 19 cm
Statement: “For this piece, I link the behavior of the ecosystem of a garden to the structure of human thoughts. In order to absorb something new, be it nutrients in plants or knowledge for an individual, you have to let something go so there can be space for renovation and growth.”
Artist: Kim Ross
