The Very Best Companion
September 7, 2026
The core beginnings of the piece I called Companion are very whimsical, yet it has deep roots. It evolved as the shape was revealing itself early on. My common design technique is to form a piece in the moment. All forms of clay have a presence, whether it be traditionally prepared or not. Different batches have different temperaments. The last clay batch I mixed a couple of days ago was particularly insistent, and I have the cuts on my fingertips as evidence. The clay is as much a designer as I am. There is a silent agreement happening, and once I sense the clay is urging my hands to do one thing, I will nod and carry out the action. Companion was one of the pieces that came with me on my trip to Oklahoma City for Red Earth Festival 2026 and found his new home there.
