Title: All my ghosts! Type: Ceramic Sculpture Year: 2018 Materials: Local stoneware and ash transparent glaze. Technique: Ghosts are full hand made, glazed with white silp and iron oxide and woodfired in my anagama japanese kiln to 1280°C. Artist statements: Every ghost of my work represents a part of my life that no longer exists. Every ghost is a failure, a defeat, a displeasure, a failed dream, a disappointment, a pain and a betrayed hope. This year I present only one work because it has been a difficult year for my work and my life. My sculpture is based primarily on manual hand-shaping, material gres and fire control, the latter obtained only after years of experience and experimentation with wood-burning kilns. I like to work clay with simple tools, some made from commonly used objects, others made by me.
