I sought a place that I thought would provide a dialogue and change throughout the day. The site is an anagama wood firing kiln which holds rich history. The images vary in the lighting that are contributed by the sunlight that comes mainly through the back of the shed. The kiln is an area that I wanted to focus on in order to display the solitude of the area and the grunginess of the kiln and the shed's constriction. The type of work that the kiln produces is a very certain aesthetic that is matched by the appearance of the kiln. The process is a novelty, it is a romantic process for those who are dedicated to the specific ways in which the work looks. The more used and easier way to fire ceramic is through an electric kiln which is significantly faster but completely different in the results it yields. Similarly, in photography digital cameras are the faster and more technology based method, however, film can be seen as nostalgic and more process based.
