Wisdom

 

Human teeth, porcelain

This forest magic teapot is spoken for, but I’d like to revisit this theme in the future! Maybe a dinner service?

Coming out of the kiln today…

in-progress porcelain mugs with flower and tea leaf designs

Some new stuff I’m working on, based on the Victorian language of flowers and on tea leaf divination rituals.

Tessellated teeth

Another take on this repeating tooth pattern I created for an “artist math” course… This has really become a recurring form in my work. Teeth for me mean frenetic energy, anxiety, stress dreams…

Almost done with this dinner plate…

porcelain dinner plate handpainted with repeating tooth pattern

 

This is a tesselation pattern I designed for the Mathematical Ideas for Artists class at CCA(C). Teeth are a bit of a recurring theme for me… In dream symbolism teeth are widely interpreted as an expression of anxiety — a touchpoint of my personality 🙃
