wild CO clay, Big Thompson River sand, commercial glazes

14" x 7" x 4"

I made this pitcher using local clay to speak from my perspective here on the Front Range, as the forests in the nearby foothills of the Rocky Mountains burned and smoldered and rained ash down on us in Loveland in 2020. I certainly felt “Engulfed” by the fires without being in the flames. The graceful posture of the pitcher form conjures water, yet the sky is overwhelmingly dark, smoky, and suffocating. It's an uneasy irony, as is our tenuous relationship with the environment. I imagine a person trying to extinguish wildfires with their own kitchen pitcher.
