NAT.24.I

This ethereal form descended through space in a moment of perfect surrender – clay relinquishing control to gravity's gentle hand as it settled into elegant folds that capture both movement and stillness. A luminous expanse of translucent ivory washes across the surface, creating a landscape of subtle depth and quiet radiance. Crafted in my Brooklyn studio, this piece incorporates fragments of sea glass collected from Greek shorelines, along with upcycled glass bottles contributed by studio mates – each melted remnant becoming a whispered story frozen within the ceramic canvas. Like ancient fossils suspended in alabaster stone, these blue-green inclusions create unexpected moments of depth and mystery, connecting the piece to distant shores and creative community. Mounted on hand-welded backing crafted by Taylor Forrest Studios in New York's Hudson Valley, the piece is completed by custom metalwork oxidized to a deep gunmetal black. The sculpture is illuminated by dimmable LED lighting, offering control over its luminous presence, and can be configured for either hardwire installation or plug-in convenience.
