"Goblin Market" is inspired by Christina Rossetti's poem of the same name. The imagery is mostly illustrative. The drawings were created as a meditative practice, with the fence line acting as a constant presence. From simple elements like posts and wire, mischief emerges. In the background, the cry of the goblin men echoes: "come buy, come buy."

This project began with late-night pen and ink drawings at "Margarett’s Cottage" in the Hambidge Center, an artist residency in Rabun Gap, Georgia. These sketches eventually evolved into a surreal narrative spanning 20 feet on a painter's paper drop cloth. After completing the drawings, I made and glazed 22 large platters (roughly 24”-27” each), then transferred the imagery onto them using homemade decals. Finally, I drew a fence line using over glaze enamel, and fired for a third time.
