My aim is to make pots that sing of their nature in a total way.  In rim, foot, surface and form...  a common language...  a single voice.

For me, pots are about balance. At the heart, they are simple and direct and difficult to achieve. Volume, contour, color, texture, feel, energy, surface, line....all come into play in this tiny humble format that gets set in the dishwasher and stacked in the cupboard. I so enjoy exploring the relationship of those aspects, while wandering around amidst all the obstacles and limitations that objects meant for use present.
