A metaphor for the diverse beauty of uncertainty in nature, reflecting moments of instability and beauty in error. The parameters that affect the appearance and quality of glazes are multifaceted and complex beyond complete control. Just as the color texture shape of a shell, is subject to a combination of factors such as temperature, humidity, acidity, and food. The particular method of applying the glaze allows the piece to retain the result of the free flow of the glaze mixing and growing in the kiln. An attempt is made to reconcile with uncertainty and to develop a friendly relationship with chaos.
