The whole world, including ourselves, is in a constant state of disintegration, every day trillions of elements lose their ‘usual’ attribution and become part of entirely new structures. The dust from our dwellings, a mixture of our epidermis, our habits and the character of the places we live in, is our personalised contribution to the process, a portrait of our lifestyle added to the gallery of portraits of other world users.

The composition of the dust is very similar to that of the ceramic glaze.The organic substances, although seemingly burning out, turn into ash, which acts as a flux; the addition of silica/ sand, the glazing formant, stabilises the system and various additional compounds work as colouring agents.

Everything, even things that seem insignificant, have their place and their role to play, a small change in the proportions, a small percentage of another additive or the lack thereof can change the whole effect and balance of the system and modify the visual appearance of the glaze.
