Rainwater

Rain falling on a dark stone water channel, water spilling over its edge
Question

How does water leave traces through time?

Location:
Tinos, Greece

Observation

Water writes slowly: streak lines on plaster, mineral deposits below a drip edge, the darkening of stone after rain. The study records these traces and asks which of them a fired object can hold permanently.

Glaze runs, pooled interiors and staining sequences are used not as decoration but as documentation of a process the Mediterranean performs on every wall.

Field Notes

Clear shallow water rippling over a pale limestone shore
Seen from above, still clear water meeting worn pale limestone along a soft edge
Tree shadow falling on a stone ledge and plaster corner above the sea
Rainwater flowing in thin rivulets across a pale limestone pavement
Dry-stone terrace walls stepping down a hillside in raking light
Dry thistles on a hillside above the sea, islands fading at dusk

Material Tests

  • MT–01Drip-edge series — controlled glaze runs from a fixed overhang geometry.
  • MT–02Pooling — interior basins fired at increasing glaze volumes.
  • MT–03Stain sequence — layered washes recording repeated wetting cycles.
