Across ancient cultures, the myths about the sun’s daily journey are surprisingly similar.
This kindred story is the inspiration for the latest Lonely Clay series.
The story goes like…
Each day the sun rises out of its ocean dwelling and slowly begins its journey across the sky.
Along its journey, the sun encounters the great serpent (Apep in Egyptian mythology), who desires darkness and disorder, and so the sun must quarrel with the serpent to maintain the light.
All the while, earthbound sunflowers (Clytie, transformed by the Greek Gods) gently rotate their heavy heads with the sun as it crosses the sky.
And once the sun has descended into its watery home, its powerful feminine moon emerges to sleep beside her earthly lover (Selene, Greek mythology).
A note about the packaging…

Trained as an oil painter and graphic designer, I have worked in creative yet often opposing worlds.
Discovering my love for ceramics in 2016 was life-changing. Working with clay has been the focal point for my interests and talents as a designer and fine artist. Today, I am a maker, a business owner, teacher, a technician, and most importantly, a student.
Thanks for being here with me.
