CERAMICS

All of the ceramic work shown here was produced in the fall of 1998. They were fired in very simple kilns or in pits with wood and charcoal. All of the coloration is due to the clay color or affects of the fire on the clay. In some cases materials in the ash from the fire has left a thin glaze.

All the images were produced using an O-limp-pus D320L digital camera under halogen light. Unfortunatly the camera skewed the color slightly.

Special thanks to John Milligan at UTWE for the proving grounds and Ron Cueto for the camera time!

	a hand at rest aprox. 8" high, two views.

My first attempt at making a tea pot. aprox10" long. Surface potmarked by perlite meltouts, glazed on the inside with comercial cone 05 lead frit clear glaze.

	This was my second attempt at tea pot-dom.

This was my first vessel, it's about 3 1/2" tall with perlite meltouts and a dark green-brown natural glaze.

This vase stands about 4" high and has a burnished and smoked surface.

This squarish vessel stands aprox 8" high and has only been bisqued, unfortunatly the lid has not survived.

This tea pot is awaiting firing as well, stands about 9'' at the spout.

This is a more or less random selection of photographic works and snap shots spanning the years 1986 to present.

	Me again. Caught in the act by fellow sharp shooter, Bruce Henry.
As you might guess by the small forest fire on the table in front of me, this was my 33rd Birthday Party. I figure that soon I'll need welder's goggles and a fire extinguisher to 'Make a wish'.  Thanx goes to John M for this one.

Color!

 

	Pasadena City Hall at night. The slide film was processed as a negative which results in the strong green cast.
"Stove under Red Light" is one of my personal favorites, unfortunately a scan can't really do the original justice. I guess you had to be there.

Some Special Places

 

	Santa Cruz board walk
	Looking down on Pasadena from the ruins of the Echo Mountain Hotel. Another of my personal favs.
	The view of LA from my old studio in LA. Unfortunately UPS is currently building on the site.
