| 5" x 2.5" Porcelain Says, "Where plates collide, scrape, yeild, and friction makes heat." Copper glaze assembled from refined materials. | | | 4.5" x 2.5" Porcelain Brown is the sediment glaze. Center of glass. Other glazes of lavender and rutile slip assembled from refined materials. | ||

| Says, "Costa Rican Accretionary Prism where plates collide, scrape -- friction makes heat." Rare red asset counterbalanced by the woops of a small chunk (filled) out of foot that wedded the piece to the kiln shelf -- when pried free, it broke off. Click side view to see detail (before it was filled.) | | | 4" x 2" Porcelain, sea glass center. Sediment was applied thinly on the exterior and written into when the clay was leather-hard. It says "Costa Rican Accretionary Prism R/V Atlantis II" on a band above the foot. Interior has sediment applied thinly, then fired, then applied thickly which caused crazing that shows a metallic nature of the fired mud -- similar looking to volcanic rock. Copper green glaze on rim and foot assembled from refined materials. | ||

| 5.5" x 3.5" Porcelain and seaglass center. Says, "Plates spreading, plates colliding - Kane Fracture Zone exterior, Costa Rican Accretionary P{rism interior." Lavender rim of glaze assembled with refined materials. | | | 4.5" x 1.5" Porcelain Many applications and effects from the same materila on this piece. Information written about material is scratched into the thin wash of mud on the exterior above the foot. Turquoise glaze assembled from refined materials. | ||

| 5" x 3.25" | | | 5.5" x 3.5" On translucent porcelain, among other words says, "....where plates collide and friction makes heat." Sediment applied thickly on inside and thinly on outside. Rim of lavender/gray and shiny brown band are glazes assembled from refined materials." | ||

| 4.25" wide x 2.25" high Sea glass center. Interior glaze from is from Costa Rican Accretionary Prism, including rim and band above foot where the words are written into the glaze and clay. Black smooth glaze on exterior was assembled from refined materials. | | | 11" x 2" Costa Rican sediment on the rim, seaglass center, eel grass seaweed wisps on the unglazed area that has also been textured by end grain of a bamboo rice paddle. Exterior glaze assembled from refined materials. | ||

| 5.5" x 2.25" | | | 4.75" x 2" Interior sediment glaze on chattered area over translucent porcelain. | ||
| ||||||
| ||||||
| 5" x 3.25" Translucent porcelain. Costa Rican accretionary prism sediment is on lower area of exterior. Other glaze assembled from refined materials. | | | 7" high x 4.5" wide Costa Rican Accretionary Prism (at the belly) and Kane Fracture Zone (at the shoulder) drillings into Earth's crust melted. The first is in compression-- scraping and colliding and yeilding while the second is where new magma flows and forces separation and splitting. | ||

| 5.5" high x 3.5" wide Lower exterior matte brown is the marine sediment. Pelican carved by Alan Steinbach -- M.D., PhD. -- one more scientist/artist produced artifact. | | | 12.5" x 3.25" The brown sediment glaze is from the Costa Rican Accretionary Prism. Included in the words written on back is, "Where plates collide and yield." Lavender matte glaze assembled from refinerd materials. Clear seaglass fills gull. | ||

| ||||||
| 6" x 2" Sediment on interior fused onto translucent porcelain and contracted in ways that reveal its character and also the shape on which it contracted. Seaglass center. Rim of lavender and black slip glaze on the back were assembled from refined materials. | | | 15.5" wide x 3.5" high Says, "Center of seaglass and lava pillar crumbs framed by drillings into Earth's crust (plates pulling apart at mid-Atlantic Ridge) framed by Costa Rican Accretionary Prism (plates colliding) framed by Atlantic seafloor! Band of Orca Basin from Gulf of mexico. Foram speckles on back. | ||
