Named after a type of fungus, Tricoderma is a piece I'm particularly fond of. In fact, I love it so much that I'm currently working on a much larger version.
What draws me to this piece is the surface. The way the glaze interacted with the lustres during firing created something I hadn't fully anticipated. It was one of those rare moments where the material gives you a gift. The depth, movement, and subtle shifts in colour emerged through the process, and it's an effect I'm hoping to recreate, though experience tells me that these things are never entirely repeatable.
The piece has a beautiful presence when illuminated from within, but what continues to surprise me is how it behaves in daylight. The surface catches and reflects light in constantly changing ways, revealing different details and qualities throughout the day. Like the fungal forms that inspired it, it seems to shift and evolve depending on the conditions around it.
