LIVED EXPERIENCE OF SPACE AND TIME ON EARTH

For two decades i used seafloor sediments and rock samples as glazes on pots.  I wrote on them, tattoo-like, the pots wear their stories.  I helped materials become their best selves, as parents do with children, as teachers do with students, as farmers do with growing crops. 

Known as a bridge between art and science, this whole systems ceramics,  could be developed and scaled up to be project based learning that develops community through education evironmental and economic justice.
