I’ve been making this cut-out form for a while now. It has taken a lot of attempts, and not every version has worked the way I’d imagined. Balancing the structure while removing so much clay has always been the challenge.

This is the first one that truly felt complete. The movement of the cut-outs, the proportions, and the glaze all came together in a way I was happy with. It’s the first piece from this series that I’ve felt confident enough to share.

I like that it changes depending on where it’s placed. Light passes through it during the day, and at night it creates a completely different feeling. It’s one of those pieces that keeps revealing something new the longer you live with it.

Sometimes the best pieces come after learning what doesn’t work.
