My test tiles serve as both a space for experimentation and a record of process. Originally intended for material trials, they've become an important part of my practice; capturing the nuances of glaze, surface, and firing in a direct and intimate format. I'm drawn to their scale, their honesty, and the way they reveal unexpected outcomes. Each tile reflects a moment of curiosity, a decision made or undone, and offers insight into the evolving relationship between form, surface, and intention.
