My influences come from nature, as do my materials. I strive to achieve the interplay of colour and texture that I find in marble, sand, frost, metal, oatmeal, and wood. I constantly experiment with the formulation and blending of glazes and the impact of firing temperature. I use both porcelain and stoneware clays as the canvas for my glazes. As an engineer, my nature is to ask Why? and How?. My path is to follow through in both theory and practice, pushing the limits of the materials. Pottery is creation. It’s something from nothing. It’s unstructured. It’s freedom. It’s challenge. Why do I do it? For the thrill of opening the kiln and discovering what’s been forged in the fire. email: pottingeng@hotmail.com website: www.karenlatorre.com |
