Becoming No. 08

Becoming No. 08 is a one-of-a-kind ceramic vessel shaped by hand using a lighter clay body, allowing both colour and material to remain visible throughout the surface.

The silhouette remains within the familiar form explored across the collection, steady and balanced, while the surface carries a more vivid transformation created entirely during the firing. The piece holds structure in its shape and freedom in its finish.

Layered glazes move across the vessel in reds and yellows, with areas where red softens into pink. Larger drips of green and aqua settle naturally along the form, while small passages of translucent brown and a subtle blue-purple tone appear in isolated areas. Rather than being placed, these colours emerge through the interaction of heat, minerals, and gravity inside the kiln.

Becoming No. 08 belongs to the Becoming collection — a small body of work exploring variation, material, and the alchemy of the firing process. Each piece exists only once and cannot be repeated.
