Spectrum Floating by Tricie Chua

Spectrum floating stripes by by Tricie Chua

Crafted on porcelain, these luminous stripes emerge from a seamless union of Spectrum, MAYCO, and AMACO glazes, guided by Tricie’s intuitive, painterly hand. Spectrum Kimchi and Reactive Red move through soft blushes and warm corals, while MAYCO Black Walnut and Norse Blue anchor the surface with earthy depth and cool, oceanic calm. Subtle reactions and breaks within each stripe allow the colors to drift, overlap, and softly blur—never static, always in motion.

The stripes feel alive, shaped by gravity, heat, and intention. What might have been simple horizontal bands becomes instead a flowing field of color, marked by quiet shifts and layered depth. It’s a striking example of how thoughtfully layered commercial glazes can transcend their materials, becoming something uniquely expressive and unmistakably Tricie’s.
