While I was in Montana I experimented with diverse clays and different raw materials. I fired in kilns unknown to me and fueled the kiln with cottonwood and pine yet another variation in the woodfiring mix. It was as if I couldn't make familiar choices but had to put myself/ my hand/my pots in the path of the beam of fire-light no matter what that might bring.
"I cannot cause light; the most I can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam."
--Annie Dillard
