The process in my work starts with blending white clay and stained clay to form each line, with the increments determined by specific stain percentages that serve as my reference, then bringing them together on the potter’s wheel to create the appearance of subtle tonal gradation from a distance. The resulting transition from dark shades to various tones and lighter colors in each band has always fascinated me, as it seems to defy a single definition and reflects a gradual process of regression and progression.
