My intention is to create work which speaks to process and material, to tradition, to grace, beauty and sensuality , to energy and movement, and ultimately, to a dimension not traditionally associated with functional pottery...time.
A successful piece is a snap shot of a moment, the moment of making, frozen in time. To me, the pieces that work best invite careful inspection, but I want the observer to feel that, should they turn their back, the piece may fly off into space or collapse into a heap; that the piece exists for them, for that moment.
