[Image Description: A digital drawing of two identical twin forest gnome girls. They are young, with light brown skin and long black hair in two braids. They wear identical outfits in blues, greens, and beiges. They have pointed blue hats, skirts, jackets, and mukluks. One has one sock rolled down, and a bandage on her knee. End ID.]

The twins, What & Why.

“What I hope to achieve are drawings in space that have a three-dimensional element to them. There’s always been anthropomorphism in pottery (the ‘belly’ of a jug, the ‘neck’ of a vase, the ‘foot of a bowl), so referencing the human body in a pottery jug is a logical progression — albeit a playful one.”

Each piece begins with a drawing, which is translated into a paper pattern from which flat slabs of clay are cut and then hand-built into a jug. The exterior is painted with layers of a vitreous slip and then and drawn on with a needle. The interiors are glazed.
