This hand-built ceramic vase explores the interplay between pattern and form, drawing inspiration from the textile traditions and architectural motifs of the Great Plains. Its surface, composed of shifting greens over warm red clay, mimics the way fabric transforms rigid geometry into something soft, fluid, and lived in.
Each seam and shard remains visible, a deliberate reminder of process—of hands at work, of cycles inherited and reimagined. The layered silhouette suggests a quiet strength, while the mosaic surface captures the push and pull between perfection and imperfection, expectation and reality. More than a vessel, it is a reflection of place, memory, and the beauty that emerges through tension.
