I strive to create art through simple, robust, functional pots. I create the forms quickly at the potters’ wheel, manipulating and altering them to emphasize the plasticity of the clay. I apply multiple layers of colored slips, emphasizing the texture through surface crackle or curdling. Finally, I apply wood ash glazes and overglaze stains to integrate form and surface. My goal is a rich, complex sensuality revealed through time and use. |
