“While growing up near the ocean, I spent many hours peering at tiny creatures and looking for clues to their secret lives. This began a lifelong passion for the the minute details, the battered fragments, and the myriad patterns of organic life… Clay is critical to exploring these ideas. Touching clay and responding to its organic properties are key aspects of my largely exploratory and intuitive creative process. Risk taking and pushing materials to their limits is also important. I experiment with the forces used to shape clay, glaze, and glass as a process for imagining and exploring the effects of natural forces. I combine clays with glass or other materials to see what they reveal about their individual properties when they are fused together.”

War Hammer Head. 1575, Italy. War hammers like this one were made for the sole purpose of tearing, ripping and badly damaging anything it its way - especially in this case with the sharp pointed hook. The wielder usually did not distinguish between whether its target was armour or somebody’s actual arm. These beauties were responsible for some pretty horrendous injuries. Get one of these to the face? Ow.
