The Oxblood Salt Glaze Jar in the South Carolina Arts Commission’s State Art Collection is a combination of wheel and slab techniques fired in an experimental salt kiln. It is a piece that came from a period in my work when I was interested in combining construction methods to make larger monumental pieces. Presently, my approach is much quieter and more concerned with simplicity and function. I try to make objects that have an integrity and honesty about them, that are at the same time, useful, and that reflect the materials and processes with which they are made.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
