In Fractured Grace, I explore the beauty found in breakage and imperfection. Using old, dry clay, I deliberately push the material to its limits—cutting it into blocks and forcefully bending it until it fractures. These cracks, a natural response to the clay’s rigidity, are the central focus of the work. Rather than concealing them, I highlight them with a painstaking process of glazing, using a small brush to trace each line.
