My tableware design has been greatly
influenced by the ceramic traditions coming from the Belizean, Mayan side of my life as well as Japan. The aesthetics of each piece are very important to me which I formed using dropout moulds having thrown the various forms in porcelain and buff clay. The warping and dimples helped me to embrace each imperfection as I looked to the Japanese notion of ‘Wabi Sabi’. The concept of embracing imperfection directed all the processes involved in this project. When applying glaze I drenched each piece in glazes I had made specifically; for instance a bright blue glaze which changes with an application of the green glaze - combined together they resemble the night sky.
