Artist Statement
My inspiration comes from the natural world. Everything is grooved, bumpy, patterned and complex. I take cues from waves on the ocean, tree bark, the veins in a leaf and the colors of a sea shell. I enjoy the feel of the clay, the accidental colors and textures. This is what I want to celebrate with my work: an indulgence not only for the eyes, but for the hands.
I love the process and limitless possibilities involved when working with clay.
My pots are created with low-fire red clay rolled into a slab which is colored with slip, stains and oxides. The slabs are formed into cylinders, boxes or bowls. The soft drapery feeling of the clay is fixed when the pots are exposed to the heat of the kiln.
Humans have been making pottery for thousands of years. Pottery was an essential and fundamental part of early civilization. Yet today potters fulfill a different requirement. While relying on the past craft of working in clay, we create an artist’s dialog with our modern community.
As a statement against the mass production of modern life, each piece of my pottery is created as a unique, imperfect object linking the maker to the user.
