Finished Metachamsa Pot
I've been calling these vaguely ghost-shaped objects Metachamsas since they're made from the outline of the fingers of a chamsa. The shape appeals to me but I'm not sure why. Also, my shelf is now almost full again so I need to switch to smaller objects until these larger ones are dry enough to move to the kiln room.

ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.
