Brownrigg works primarily with raku-fired ceramics/pottery, removing pieces from the kiln at temperatures approaching 1000°C and applying horsehair to the hot surface. The horsehair instantly carbonizes, leaving dramatic organic markings that can never be duplicated.This process allows nature and chance to participate directly in the final creation of each work.
