Live Rock inspired Plates

Live Rock inspired plates stacked. 


People tell me it's unusual that I have chosen to decorate the bottom of the plate.
I made that decision because I wanted to feel the texture I have created when handling the plate. 
Texture has always been a driving force in my ceramic work. Though an impressive visual experience is important to me I believe a powerful tactile experience is necessary for a intimate connection between  the consumer and a pottery piece. 

These plates are inspired by the porous nature of Reef Rock, also called Live Rock. 
In the broadest terms Live Rock is what it sounds like, reef rocks that are alive with billions of microscopic organisms, and many that you can see like tube worms, feather dusters, shrimp, tiny fish and more.
It is the Live Rock that is the backbone of any reef environment.
