Bush Dynasty & Co.

04 Sep 21 in Series

I began experimenting with ceramics while teaching drawing and painting at Capilano University. The ceramics instructor, Sam Kwan, was expert in glaze technology and he helped me experiment with a range of different glazes. A green celedon glaze was my favourite.

Around that time the USA had recently invaded Iraq (on the rationale of a lie), hence the name of this series of work. These ceramic pieces led to other 2 & 3D work.
