I started making pots in the late eighties and found that the most intriguing part of it all was the physicality. Especially throwing pots on the wheel, where brute force isn't enough, there must also be the ability to pull back and apply a bit of finesse.
After decades of working with clay I find the path of constant change, and the continual evolution of ideas, leads to the most rewarding results. Clay has always been my greatest collaborator. I am grateful for its endless possibilities and it's ability to humble and inspire.
My most recent work focuses on the transformative nature of fire. The process of surrendering pieces directly into the flame creates a more intimate relationship with the work because while it requires specific time and attention it also demands a leap of faith, the complete release of expectations. I believe that destructive nature of fire brings both a sense of strength and fragility to the pieces.
The allure of fire is that it burns away what is no longer needed and leaves a touch of the sublime.
