Effigies, Mask and Oddballs were created from late 2016 through mid 2017.

 

Effigies are "Roughly made models of a particular person, made in order to be damaged or destroyed as a protest or expression of anger." They represent the unburdening of specified ailments and attitudes experienced during the normal course of aging.  They are all high-fire stoneware finished with colored slips applied when the clay was still wet, or by allowing the clay to assume it's natural coloration from the firing process. Most are life size.

​

Masks are a dark clay body, soda ash soaked, glazed and high fired with metallic leaf and breaded cord applied. Oddballs emerged in forming masks into fully three-dimensional forms.
