Crank clay, slips, and oxides. These two panels are material experiments, an attempt to push surface into something that feels genuinely weathered rather than merely textured. Deep gouges, scrapes, and embedded fragments work against the glaze, which pools into blues and blacks that echo rusted metal and tidal stone.
Visually, they belong to the same family as the rest of my work, but they're not yet conceptually anchored in the same way. They came out of looking closely at working harbours, decay that's still in use, structures still holding despite themselves. That's the thread worth following.
