This piece was part of my 2026 show titled, Verrucas’s Daughter, at The Arts Center in Corvallis, OR. The theme of the show was to ask if in the present moment, must every work be a deeply meaningful commentary on the world, or is it enough if it simply makes the viewer smile for a moment? This oddly shaped pieces says, “finding balance for yourself can be revolutionary”. It’s silly and meaningful, much like me!

I handmade this wall plate with a red stoneware. After slab rolling and forming the shape, I handpainted with colorful underglazes. Once bisque fired and cooled, I applied a clear glaze to the front and then fired to cone 6. Lastly, I added 22k gold luster details and fired for a third and final time.

Plate measures  17.5”x 6.25” x .5”, is ready to hang with hand tied ribbon loops, and is signed on the back.
