The LAVA collection is a series of pieces exploring the essential, vital elements of the ceramic process; Water, Fire, Clay.... in reference to the powerful element of Lava. Poetry in the contrast of the strength of the stoneware once fired which comes from this smooth, soft, fragile material which is the clay at its beginning. Those pieces interpreting the relationship between the primal nature of the golden, incandescent and malleable Lava which turns into a strong, textured, dark Volcanic Rock set by the air temperature. This primal material transition is at the beginning of a new land.
