Release utilizes the eyes of the vessels as a source of light and emanation. What can be seen as depressive on one end can be also seen as the necessary relinquishment that allows one’s emotions to flow through and out rather than held within.
Release is made with high-fire porcelain. The main vessel pieces are wheel-thrown then sculpted with details on top. Once sculpting is finished, the piece is slowly dried and then fired for the first time. It is then glazed and fired once more for the piece to reach its fully vitrified state. Chosen details are then adorned with precious 22 karat gold and luster fired. If a lamp, electrical is then threaded through and assembled.
