My clay work is about my fascination
with harmonizing and integrating disparate parts.
My goal is to bring together a beautiful art object
and a utilitarian piece of pottery
that can be used in our day to day life.

I try to achieve this by always keeping in mind
human scale and physical touch
in conjunction with the active visual play
of form, design, and surface.

I work in both earthenware, for color,
and porcelain for subtle texture.
When using porcelain (fired to cone 10),
I am able to integrate the subtleties of surface,
depth and texture.
I carve, wipe, rub, draw and paint on the clay
at difference stages all the while listening
to the pots and what they want to say.
It is a dialogue that continues until the final firing.

Things I think about when working:
Landscaped – cityscape
Organic vs geometic lines
Interior – exterior
Quiet – loud
Smooth – rough
Practical – abstract
Color – black and white
Domestic - worldly
