TENEREZZA . hand built stoneware with colored slips and glazes
This series is linked to work from an earlier chapter of life when photography was my medium and photographing people holding onto each other and things they loved was one of my interests. This longstanding focus on intimacy and relationships led to my watercolor paintings and the ceramic vessels I'm making today. The longer I’ve focused on couples and intimacy, the more I’ve come to believe that everything consequential emanates from some form of intimate relationship. Including, of course, our relationships with ourselves. Creating double ceramic vessels is fascinating, not only due to the technical aspects in uniting separate forms, but equally for the aesthetic/design challenges of evoking an emotional connection.
