Artist Statement
Years spent painting, drawing, working with color, and creating art in other mediums are now reflected in the clay work I produce. As a medium, it’s tactile nature captures my attention like no other. I am continuously driven to explore the many creative challenges and variations in shape, texture, and surfaces it presents. Recently, I have been creating work using the Saggar process. It’s one of the most extreme firing conditions clay can endure. The work is adorned with different combustibles, wrapped in aluminum foil and put into a kiln that’s fired in a kiln to 1800° in a short amount of time. The saggar packages are then allowed to cool down to under 200° before they are opened and the results revealed. It’s a very exciting unveiling and always a surprise. This ceramic process requires that an artist let go and trust. I love the unexpected and the space I have to make for the clay to become what it wants to be not always what I think it should be.
