In All Directions is a series of black stoneware ceramics starting from 2021 created with a custom 3D printer, extruding layers of clay in a process reminiscent of traditional coil pot construction, to create multi-directional compasses. These multidirectional forms reimagine the compass star, serving as new points of origin that disrupt conventional notions of direction and the X, Y, and Z coordinate system used in digital modeling. Each digital compass gestures toward a limitless array of directions, breaking existing spatial orientation. Individually pit-fired and wood-smoked, they capture subtle carbon tones, adding depth and grounding to their conceptual exploration of space and movement.
