THis isnt mine, but this 1930's type of tableware (glazed with uranium oxide for the red orange colour) is still a radioactive product that if seen in a flea market should be avoided. Collect if you dare.

The connotations of orange in ceramics I can apply to my own work- the dangerous quality of the materials are alarming in the natural and cultural world.

Perhaps I will exaggerate this by using glowing glazes so to really emphasize the natural/unnatural ability of the materials....

It is to think about.... :3

Painting depth with Gravity. AKA Drool and Drink painting

these two glorious close ups are of an experimental method of painting my new compositions. This way i can benefit from the rigidity of clay and its liquidity when in mid firing. The form warps when fired to perfectly mirror the opposite, and the glaze follows suit. These works are a gateway to ideas of portals, tunnels of energy, the kind of ideas that can entertain for hours when imagining the possibilities as they align with every choice everyday.
 

 If the universe is infintiely expanding, there is infinite possibility for an existence exact as my own, paralell up until this point, or this or this, when a minor change could affect everything. This is a  rudimentary application of the chaos theory; that initial factors can affect outcomes in many unpredictable ways.

Conteomporary theories that build upon David Bohms postmodern theories of Wholeness.  I'm not sure where is stand in regards to these theories, that in itself represents my lack of knowledge of the area, but if you are brave enough to offer insight or opinion upon the above site and its new version of reality understanding, I am intrigued. I postulate that Wholeness will become mainstream understanding of space, time and existence, but who can comment on its correctness!?



Perhaps, if new to the realm of know it all science; watch the video below before reading the above site;
