Sediment

The Sediment series began with a breakthrough. I had developed a way to print with hard clay without adding water. This made larger pieces possible without the clay collapsing under its own weight. It also meant I could knead and combine different clays by hand before feeding them into the printer.

Built layer by layer, the composition appears on the surface as shifting bands of color and texture. The vessel records both the hand working the clay and the machine forming it.
