Pentimento
2021, 42x14x14in, porcelain and underglaze, wheel thrown base with pinching and coiling, cone 6 oxidation

“my beloved is mine” is a catalogue of the many forms a ghost can take— a pot, a map, a recipe, a word, a faded photo, a red string leading you home, and love, which transcends time.
