Exploring horizontality

The handle is a piece of the grate that I use in my wood kiln. The steel bars warped naturally after multiple firings. When replacing the grate, it felt natural to integrate the used one into my work.

The last series of pieces that came out of the woodkiln show a very bright, intense colour range. Although I am not sure on whether I will be aiming for a similar result in the near future, I am very happy to have achieved this goal and to show these pieces as part of my work.

Phi (/ˈfaɪ, ˈfiː/ ⓘ FY, FEE;[1] uppercase Φ, lowercase φ or ϕ; Ancient Greek: ϕεῖ pheî [pʰéî̯]; Modern Greek: φι fi [fi]) is the twenty-first letter of the Greek alphabet.

Starting off 2026 with some kiln drama. A bit too busy/horror vacui for my standards but I like it in its uniqueness.

I don't think I'm going to remove that last wadding. It staying there somehow makes more sense. I think that this piece is so much more meaningful now that it's leaning.
