"For Travel in the Lands Beyond: Homage to Norton Juster"





I made a travel journal based on the travels of Milo from The Phantom Tollbooth, my favorite book. Just to show how much work went into it I made a video as well. The picture you see above is the front cover. This book was made from found objects, collage, drawing, ink, watercolor, photographs, burnt paper, fabric, sewing etc. The picture below is of all the pages that went into the book.

The Castle in the Air

This was an assignment for class. It is my representation of the Castle in the Air from the book "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster. It is about 6ft tall and 4 ft wide. I used ink wash, graphite, pen and paper cut with butcher paper behind it.

I learned how to make decals recently (basically just a way of printing images on to ceramic pieces). These are a few of the plates that were a result of my experimentation.

The most amazing creature to walk the earth....



"Tasmanian Wolf"


aka "Tasmanian Tiger"


"Thylacine"


The Tasmanian Wolf/Tiger/Thylacine was probably one of the most amazing creatures on the planet. It was a carnivorous  marsupial (from the kangaroo family). It walked on four legs bit had a pouch. It could also open its mouth at a 90 degree angle.

SADLY, due to over hunting the Tasmanian Tiger went extinct in 1936

stupid humans....

I did this piece using slab, with porcelain for the teeth, clear glaze, slip and stain.


House on the Hill

House on the Hill
This piece reflects the solitude that we all feel in our lives at one time or another. It is the act of being alone. We all feel as though we completely alone at one point or another. Sometimes that solitude can be good for your mental development.

Soldate clay, slip, clear glaze, underglaze, black stain

This piece was part of a concentration I did on animals that have gone extinct due to Human involvement. The Black Rhino went extinct in the wild in November of 2011. This was caused by over-hunting and habitat destruction.
