Artist Statement:
Beauty created by natural
forces is sublime, sometimes
so intense, sometimes hidden.
I allow fire to finish my pots
to include natural beauty in
my creations.
I handbuild pots
by the coil method then
burnish them with a smooth
stone. There is no glaze.
Other than some color in the
clay slips, all the color
results from the firing. I
remove the pots red hot from
the kiln, then finish the
firing in a pit. The hot pots
contact various fuels such as
sawdust, hair, flowers, or
weeds, which leave smoke
stains and areas which are
reduced or oxidized.
