Ghost Cloud Sequence encapsulates the profound link between climate change and human experience against the backdrop of California's annual destructive winter rains and wildfires. The artist collaborates with nature, exposing ceramics to torrential rains, evoking a nuanced surface. A black and white palette underlines rain's dual nature: obstructive yet vital for growth. Celebrating winter rains, the piece laments their absence in summer. By leveraging the inherent longevity and fragility of ceramics, a theme emerges that contemplates the sublime within the context of climate change.
