Cimarrona Pots

This project began as a creative exploration of Costa Rican identity. I was searching for a way to create something unique, something that felt true to the culture, but presented in a fresh and meaningful format. That’s how the idea for Cimarrona Pots came to life. I took elements from the traditional Mascaradas (a cultural symbol deeply tied to Costa Rican festivities) and blended them with a natural component that’s just as iconic: plants. The result is a series of limited-edition ceramic pots that carry a strong visual narrative, rooted in heritage, nature, and celebration. Each piece represents a character from the mascarada tradition, but reimagined to grow and evolve, just like culture itself. This concept is about more than form or function. It’s about keeping the tradition alive in a way that feels current, emotional, and iconic. A souvenir not just to remember, but to connect.

Got a wild hair (or is it hare?) to do a blackwork/backstitch project last week. Here she is!

Since I didn't have anything I could use to sketch or trace the flower on the black fabric, I drew it on a sticky note and then cut it out and tacked it down. Did the outline, then cut each petal from the paper one at a time, using the new edge to continue the outline. It worked out pretty well!

hiii Tumblr im still here and making art except I teach it now!!!!! I'm a ceramics TA at a university :) so that's taking up a lot of my time and brain but I'm hoping once I'm settled I will be able to build a routine for art and Etsy again. I have lots of gay little pins and access to a kiln again it's exciting. do you want to see the ceramics I'm doing??? Even if they're not explicitly trans (they are implicitly because of the transformative properties of the ceramic process but like. that's the subtext)???? should I make a separate blog for the ceramics??????

This spider made me realize that ceramics is not my thing. Can I draw ideas and someone else will sculpt them?

Этот паук заставил меня понять, что керамика не моё. Можно я буду рисовать идеи и кто-то другой будет их лепить?

been collecting vintage tiles for the surface of the studio work bench I’m building. a bunch of these were sourced from demolition sites in the path of Sydney’s WestConnex motorway, scraps of vintage fireplaces rescued from the rubble by another local artist.

aiming to use recycled/second hand materials where possible…sourcing recycled timber next week <3

Been sitting on this one for a little while. Not quite what I hoped for, but it’s grown on me! I made it back in June and pulled out on the 30th, so happy late pride!

Long Face #4, 5, & 6 (Faces)

As you might now see, I'm a little obsessed with faces that look like a cross between Tiki Gods and tribal African Masks. (Sorry for the generalization... there are very, very big distinctions between regions and villages when it comes to African Masks. I apologize for not being specific; I gathered inspiration over decades of looking at masks and they melded together into my subconscious.)

Most of the "Faces" series are pulled together spontaneously from slab scraps left over from other projects... well, the faces are... They were almost all done with a stoneware clay body called Sheba Raku, which is flexible to use, dries slowly enough to work over time, and resistant to heat and cooling of the Cone 6 electric firing (thanks to the grog in the clay). They are all done between 2005 & 2008.

These all stand about 12" (30cm) and are glazed in alternating coats of variegated green and cream glaze, brushed on.

They lived as garden gnomes for a short time, then found other homes in the world.
