Inspired by the directness of folk art, Cross is a wall-mounted candle holder shaped through simple forms and quiet proportions. As the candle burns, its flame is reflected by the semi-gloss interior, creating a soft depth that shifts with the light

The piece is finished using the Raku firing process, where oxidation and reduction unfold in succession. After reaching its firing temperature, the glowing ceramic is removed from the kiln and placed into a sealed container filled with combustible material. As oxygen disappears, reduction transforms both the glaze and the clay, producing surfaces that remain unique to each firing.
