First Tests

Each sediment sample arrived as an unknown. I fired them on flawed pieces, broken shards, whatever could be tucked into the kiln — not to make salable work but to find out what the material would do. The results became evidence that I kept close because reading them gave me ideas and guidance for next steps.  Some curators and exhibit designers recognized what they were: artifacts of a process, the material speaking without instruction.  This is the first time I've showed them or offered them for sale.
