This wood-fired vase reflects the familiar colors of a Minnesota fall day—The surface was shaped by flame, ash, and shifting kiln conditions to soften the imagery and create subtle variation across the form. The lower portion reveals natural texture from the clay body, while the upper surface carries the visual weight of the firing and slip work.
Standing 13.5 inches tall and 6 inches wide, the piece balances structure with restraint, allowing the firing process to remain an active collaborator. The result is a vessel that reflects both intentional mark-making and the unpredictable character of wood firing—rooted in material, process, and place.
