“Mia” was made and wood fired during my time training under Master Lee Hyang-gu in Icheon, South Korea, where I became his longest-term international student.

Part of my Two Lines That Almost Meet series, Mia explores connection through two hand-painted cobalt lines that travel around the porcelain surface. They draw close but never quite meet, leaving a small space between them. For me, that space holds the possibility of a connection: paths that nearly crossed, and things that could have been but didn’t. This exploration of design became a meaningful part of The Icheon Collection.

Mia also carries an ash marking from the wood firing in Korea. I value this trace of the kiln alongside the deliberate brushwork: a lasting record of the firing that makes this particular piece its own.

Artist's Note

There are small areas of surface roughness on the shoulder and rim, more noticeable to the touch than to the eye. These are shown in the close-up photographs and have been reflected in the price. They sit alongside the ash marking as part of Mia’s individual surface character.
