I am interested in exploring the freedom of personal interpretation within the well defined limits of classical pottery. I am inspired by the lineage, or history of an idea in from, and see my work as part of a long and changing continuum. I strive to create the functional object in both the useful and contemplative sense. The method of wood firing allows direct participation in the final step, helping to unify the piece. The fire touches and marks certain pots, adding an intangible effect beyond my control.
