At his off-grid studio Tim finds inspiration for his porcelain pieces. Schools of herring, flocks of chattering songbirds, and all matter of sea life are skillfully carved on the surfaces of his hand-thrown and constructed forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTim began working in clay in 1999, and he has been etching his black and white pieces since 2004. Using the centuries-old decorative technique of Sgraffito, Tim carves intricate worlds teeming with life and energy. Firing much of his work at Watershed Center for Ceramic Art in Newcastle, Maine, Tim finds that the collaborative Midcoast institution's salt and wood-fire kilns add variety and allow for the possibility of happy accidents, which are common in the ceramic world and offer welcome play on the artist's meticulous carvings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTim has shown his work around the world and recently completed his first book. Written with co-author Carri Lange, “Reflect, Adapt, and Persevere” he tells of his travels and thoughts on environmental philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Artist:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy work is about the ever-changing web of relationships that surround us. Individuals make contact to create relationships, relationships collide to create systems. These systems change over time in response to the other systems around them. I envision my world as an infinite collection of active counterparts, individuals symbiotically wriggling and moving and jostling for space and resources. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this sea of systems, of relationships, I sit and try to untangle it, sit and try to communicate what I see changing, being created, or disappearing into the past. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is why I work in our most durable medium, porcelain, and in our longest unbroken historical record, pottery. My work, functional in the information I convey, will be understandable to anyone with an eyeball and the ability to think abstractly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy goal is to make work which still speaks clearly in 10,000 years, and more importantly, to convey the complexity and richness of the world in which I am most fortunate to live.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

These fish provide me with a format that lets me play and experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forms are made similarly to an article of clothing. I trace handmade templates on flat sheets of clay and join the edges together to make fish \"blanks\" that I can then alter and apply anatomical, expressive, and imaginative information. The symbols and imagery that are carved into the soft clay are inspired by patterns and colors found on some of my favorite fish as well as patterns and textures found in human-created waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it's common for sculptural ceramics to be fired many times to achieve the desired result, I limit myself to one bisque firing and one glaze firing. This limitation minimizes my potential energy footprint and makes me feel less conflicted about making environmentally-inspired works. It also challenges me to problem solve ways to achieve glaze surfaces that are as rich in color and texture as I can muster with fewer trips to the kiln. The surfaces that I discover through the process of making these fish greatly support how I decide to finish my larger, more time-consuming sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
