Time Passages I | Lake Michigan Ceramic Vase

Time Passages I

Time leaves its mark on every shoreline.

The sun rises. The moon appears. Seagulls leave temporary footprints in the sand before the waves quietly erase them. Wind reshapes the dunes, and the shoreline becomes something new each day.

Inspired by these daily observations along Lake Michigan, Time Passages I reflects the quiet rhythm of nature and the passage of time. A large sun and moon move across the surface while subtle seagull footprints, carved textures, and layered glazes speak to moments that are both fleeting and enduring. The phrase “Time Passages” is carved into the side as a quiet reminder that landscapes—and our lives—are always changing.

Hand built from porcelain, each vase is one of a kind. Whether displayed on its own or filled with seasonal grasses or flowers, it invites us to pause, observe, and appreciate the beauty found in everyday moments along the shore.
