One of my sculptures, "A Harpy and her Harplings"
Wood stain and oils on fired ceramic.

The version of this sculpture on my site is more glossy and saturated from layers of oil glaze. But I was never quite satisfied with how they looked, so I sand blasted them lightly, and It was an improvement.

Another from my series on :
"Tantalus", Wood stain and Copper leaf on fired ceramic.
This one was tricky to build, I made a couple of hearts before I finally got it right, and installing was a challenge. The way the stain took to the hand though was surprising cool and a little accidental. I'll share some process pics soon.

Sometimes sculptures look best when they’re raw clay- the uniform color helps bring focus to details that can often get lost in the final surface treatment.

"Narcissus"
From a series of sculptures based on myths. The broken collarbone might be my favorite part as it's based on my own, which I broke previously in a motorcycle fall.
