| 5.25" high x 3.25" wide Mixed samples from five places but mug says, "65° south 167° west, Deception Island, Elephant Island." Shiny brown interior glaze assembled from refined materials. Seaglass thumbwell. | | | | ||

| 5" high x 3.25" wide Several Antarctica sites mixed. Says, "65° south 167° west, Bramsfield Strait, Whaler's Cove." Interior glaze assembled from refined materials. Seaglass thumbwell has small crater--a void in the smoothness of the sea glass when it leveled in it's molten phase. | | | | ||

| 11" x 1.5" Sea glass center framed by seaweed wisps on unglazed clay (impressed with end-grain bamboo) framed by Antarctica sediment from mixed areas of Bramsfield Strait, Erebes and Terror Gulf, Deception Island, Elephant Island. Halo around sea glass center is from salt that vaporized and interacted with the clay. Note: sea glass overflowed. Grayish matte glaze assembled from refined materials. | | | 5.5" high x 3.5" wide Brown area from 63 degrees south, Deception and Elephant Islands, Bramsfield Strait and Erebes and Terror Gulf -- all mixed together because there's so little of each sample. Interior glossy white. Seaglass in thumbwell. | ||

| 10" x 5.5" 5 Antarctica Sites, including sand from Deception and Elephant Islands -- it fluxes other materials. This is a sculpture -- begun as a symmetrical cylinder and then stretched into fullness, swelling into an image of something not animate not inanimate,but in between. Interior shiny brown and exterior white matte are glazes assembled from refined materials. | | | 4.5" x 3" Exterior writing on translucent porcelain tells the story. | ||

| 5.5" high x 3.25 wide From four sites in Antarctica mixed together (not much left): Erebes and Terror Gulf, Deception Island at Whaler’s Cove Beach, Bramsfield Strait, and 65° south 167° west. Interior of shiny white overlaps a copper green glazes (both assembled from refined materials) which goe pinkish red to green, depending on zones of oxidizing and reducing atmospheres in the kiln. | | | 5.5" high x 3.25 wide From four sites in Antarctica mixed together (not much left): Erebes and Terror Gulf, Deception Island at Whaler’s Cove Beach, Bramsfield Strait, and 65° south 167° west. Interior of shiny white overlaps a copper green glaze(both assembled from refined materials). How they melt together reminds me of melting ice. | ||

| 11" x 1.5" Sea glass center framed by seaweed wisps on unglazed clay (impressed with end-grain bamboo) framed by Antarctica sediment from mixed areas of Bramsfield Strait, Erebes and Terror Gulf, Deception Island, Elephant Island. Grayish matte glaze assembled from refined materials. | | | 4' wide x 3" high Arctic seafloor sediment on porcelain clay (3 views). Sediment's tendencies to contract and display effects of thin and thick applications are all here to observe. Coordinates included. Foot is a copper glaze, assembled from refined materials. | ||

| 6" x 2.25" On porcelain clay. words say: Glacier Bay Alaska inlets named Reid, McBride, John Hopkins. It halso has Muir in the mix but space caused it to drop out. Seaglass in the center interacts with the sediment. Rim and foot glaze assembled from refined materials. The shape of the bowl that determines what the sediment does is influenced by how I lift the soft clay off the wheel with four fingers (four bumps). | | | | ||
