Gold and silver decorations consist of motifs rendered in gold and silver pigments or leaf. The decorations may be applied directly to the clay substrate or as an overglaze decoration that is fired onto the vessel. The gold and silver decorations are fired at lower temperatures than underglaze decorations, then polished to bring out their luster.

Comment on Award
I am very particular about the shapes when I make my ceramics. Every line and surface and those combined to become a three-dimensional form is important. This lead to creating ceramic boxes. However, in my recent years, when I am at a loss on what form to make, I go back to the basics and shave off many elements. I am very grateful that my artwork that I made through this process has been highly evaluated. I would like to continue to pursue my way of expression going forward.
