Strata is built from the inside out. Thin slabs of porcelain are constructed layer by layer, each one pressed, shaped, and set before the next begins. The technique is the same across every piece; what changes is what the material chooses to reveal.

In some pieces the walls become so thin that light passes through them, turning porcelain into something closer to paper or light itself. In others, the form itself is the statement, the accumulated layers giving rise to a silhouette that stands on its own. In others still, a line of cobalt or oxide traces the boundary between one layer and the next, making the construction visible.

What unites them all is a quality that the technique seems to demand: delicacy. These are objects that hold their shape through precision, not mass — fragile in appearance, resolved in form.

Technique: slab construction, layered · Materials: white and black porcelain, local clays, cobalt / green oxide seams
