Leaves

Living in a foresty place, lots of time is spent surrounded by leaves. Everyday we walk in the woods and see leaves, and so leaves creep in to my work in lots of ways, sometimes drawn, others, carved. These are plates, cut free-style, all at the same time, about the same size and shape. In the firing, I put lots of salt and there is a lot of mottling. They are waxed with a food safe wax from Lee Valley[beeswax and mineral oil].These are part of my current exhibit at Espace Kao in Val David.
