A ceramic and glaze interpretation of the historic atmospheric river that affected the west coast in January 2023. This image was reworked from an image acquired on January 4, 2023, at 1:20 p.m. Pacific Standard Time by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NOAA-20 satellite. 100 terracotta tiles fired to cone 5/2200°F in an electric kiln, leveraging the high heat to distort the image and create psychedelic glaze effects, perhaps like primordial ooze. The blue glaze in this piece is 100% studio waste glaze collected during 2022 as a closed-loop sustainability experiment.

The undulating surface of the tile and grid formation references a well-used navigation map and brings the individual into the piece as a player in the climate crisis. It is an investigation facing the tragedy of the Anthropocene Epoch and marks a moment in time, a collective experience, of severe historic weather.

Behind the work I use a variety of hanging systems. This French cleat system shows handmade 1" popular cleats with a miter cut. Each tile has a cleat and the receiving cleats are 6' long each.
