Large Blue Candelabra
2025 | stoneware clay | handbuilt
This piece features a deep blue glaze inspired by the ocean’s movement. It is apart of The Empress exhibition with Janey Gallery. Much like coral reefs that sustain entire ecosystems, The Empress embodies growth and the life-giving force of nature. This candelabra serves a reminder of how beauty and vitality bloom when we nurture what surrounds us.
Chrome Coral

The chrome coral was all about reflection. Both literally and symbolically. I chose this glaze because it mirrors its surroundings and catches light and movement. By glazing it in chrome, I wanted the piece to feel reflective, so it not only represents nature’s abundance but also mirrors it back to the viewer.
Though clay transforms into something enduring once fired, its malleability and ability to record every touch, shift, and pressure mirrors the sensitivity of marine life to environmental change.
