Bowl Form
"When I am creating artwork I tend to use two types of mediums; casting and porcelain. Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold that contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape. After that it is allowed to solidify. The final product is then ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process. As for working with porcelain, it is a ceramic material made by heating materials, generally including kaolin, in a kiln. Temperatures are set between 1,200 and 1,400 °C (2,200 and 2,600 °F). Using these methods I have created the Bowl Form, a piece that fully utilizes both techniques in a way that causes the viewers to admire the simple, yet delicate form of the bowl."
