Artist Statement:
My hand-built vessels and
sculptural forms range from 1'
to 20' in scale.
On much of my work I write
stories, poetry or journal
writings. Many of the writings
reflect on the perceptions we
develop about who we are,
about the importance we put on
"surface things", our clothes,
our looks, our money, and how
they can define, and at times
trap us.
I'm intrigued with objects
that hold life... the shell of
the hermit crab, the cocoon of
the butterfly, the human body.
Over the layers of time, they
hold the story of the life
that resides within. The
vessels remain as life moves
on, leaving their stories
behind.
My work incorporates
techniques such as pit-firing,
stains, oxides and slips that
create a timeless and
ancient-look. Both ceramic and
non-ceramic finishes have also
been incorporated to complete
the story.
