a selection from ironic nature

Prefers Popcorn Yes this fat squirrel is sitting on a giant acorn but he prefers popcorn. Corn cannot grow in the wild because its husk prevents natural seeding. But it makes great junk food. 14” x 7” dia. Stoneware and Porcelain

The Scream The blue celadon jar represents the rising ocean. The knob is a sinking house with a drowning man. 5”x7” Porcelain

The last Lily pad Series: Toad on phone 7”x8” Kazegama Ash fired Stoneware and Porcelain

The last Lily pad Series: Toad on phone with horses. Horses used to be in North America before humans. They went extinct before humans, then humans brought them back. Kazegama Ash fired Porcelain and Stoneware 12”x 8”

The last Lily pad Series: Frogs on iPhone This is the only erotica in the series, so far. 8”x3” Earthenware

The last Lily pad Series: Detail

“A curious Litter” A pristine white porcelain cat looks very out of place in a muddy puddle with gooey worm critters crawling around at its feet. You can take the meaning of the word “litter” either way. 7”x6”

“Toads’ revenge” The toads used to hatch every year down by the river, but now they are gone. Here they are getting revenge as the water rises by growing large enough to have a meal of humans.

“Pierre’s Experiment” Science has produced two headed tadpoles. Here the tadpoles are the product of a toad and a red eyed frog enjoying an old cell-phone as part of their homey environment graced with a nice bloom of Alien Botanicals. 6” x 4” Earthenware

“Basta!” The Egyptian Bastet is a cat god that evolved from being a god of war to god of the house. It is an ancient symbol; the cell phones around its neck are totally antique now. 17” x 12” Stoneware
