Gestures is a series of stoneware plates made as part of Radical Presence. Each plate carries a photographic transfer of the figure. The earlier plates crop close — the body in fragment, a torso or a limb held at the edge of recognition. The later plates open out to the whole figure, a single pose caught mid-hold.
The image sits in the glaze rather than on it, rendered in oxide tones of brown. The halftone screen leaves its own texture in the surface. No two images repeat.
Made in two diameters, 8" and 11". Each plate is built and finished by hand in Detroit, and numbered and dated by the artist. Edition of 100, each image unique to the series.

A five-piece place setting from the Radical Presence series, hand-painted on high-fired stoneware. Five figures of the male form move across the plates and bowls — in orange, pink, ochre, and blue — each drawn by hand, each setting one of a kind. Hand-painted and finished in the studio. Signed and stamped by the artist.

Slab-built white stoneware, finished by hand in layered glaze. Each platter reduces form to essentials: a circle, a half-moon, a suspended shape, held inside a field of color. The work sits between serving ware and still life.
Each piece is titled by the glaze recipe that produced its surface, a record of how the work was made. One of a kind, in three diameters.
Utilità bowls with glossy interiors, glazed exteriors, and unglazed bottoms — sealed with a heavy stoneware lid for storage, baking, and serving. Studio-cast and finished by hand. Available in two sizes. Oven safe to 450°.
