Detail back rim of Ceramic Wall Plate #6, 21" diameter, pressed and carved shapes in the wet clay, covered in white slip and colored slips, clear glaze applied afterwards and fired to 2167 F
In my work, coming from western art training, I decided to use the wall as a place to display a lot of my work. In western architecture there is a vast quanity of open wall space in homes. From a marketing perspective, as an artist, I decided to compete with painting for this open wall space. Ceramic vessel and object makers always need a shelf or pedestal to display their work. Since the walls are so large, I make large pieces to fill this empty space.
