My ceramic vessels are
created swiftly and directly on a slow spinning potter’s wheel.
I work in series creating families of pots that are related and
yet it is my intent that each piece stands on its own. Most of my
pieces are fired in wood burning kilns without applied glazes to
stoneware temperatures; colors and textures result from the interaction
of wood, fire and clay. I strive to meld form and surface.
During the past two winters I have
been painting infant images or what I call “cry-babies”
on my pieces. Forms remain consistent to my style, yet these surfaces
are very different. The pieces are painted with ash glazes colored
green for go, red for stop and the infant images outlined in black
which are crowded over all surfaces of the pieces. My inspiration
for these images addresses both internal and external conditions
as a new parent in a swiftly changing society.
