Artist Statement

When I discovered the responsiveness of clay more than 20 years ago, I was captivated. I am drawn to handbuilding techniques because of the imperfect, organic forms that emerge. Oftentimes, I start with a slab or coil and allow the clay to guide me. My work often takes the shape of curvy, asymmetrical, sculptural (and often functional) vessels. I also gravitate towards playful pieces, such as lopsided circles or cloud forms. Inspired by the simplicity, and yet complexity, of found rocks, I find their rounded, irregular surfaces in my work. I cycle between soft white clay, gritty red clay, and even grittier black clay, all stoneware. The characteristics of each clay body feed my need to grow and change. An ancient symbol of evolution, the spiral is my signature. Early on, I carved a spiral out of clay. This same spiral image has evolved in my work and I hope it reflects an appreciation for the natural world, imparting a sense of simple joy.
