Gas Reduction Fired Ceramic
2014-2018
In the 
slabs series my intention is to create massive solid ceramic “test 
tiles” as a canvas for material experimentation with gas reduction firing. I invented a form, like the vase, that could be iterative 
and used to interrogate the colorful interactions of glaze, oxide based 
slip, and clay bodies. The slabs serve as prototypes for understanding ceramic materials, glazes, oxide reactions, and firing conditions. I chose the rough ambiguous vertical shape as a 
way to reference a mountainous landscape, tombstones, or painting.
