ARTIST STATEMENT
A desire to have objects that fulfill specific purposes inspires
me to make functional pots. The infinite and elusive variety of
texture and color attainable through the various making and firing
processes that I use has generated an interest in the notion of
presentation. I enjoy presenting my work so that a viewer might
notice and appreciate subtle diversities in for and surface. By
grouping similar forms of differing size and color I hope to compose
a visually dynamic display, which invites the viewer to enjoy the
tactile nature of each individual piece and how they relate to one
another.
