I love porcelain, its translucency, and the way it comes to life in the sunlight. I am inspired by nature’s details, the curved spirals, the perfect proportions, the layered and intricate textures. My best pots have a soul. They have personalities, and talk with each other. Working gently and slowly, I pinch and carve, trying to discover the spirit of the piece developing in my hands. The best pots sing. The song that is heard is a reflection of both the potter and the listener.
I call myself a potter, a maker of vessels and containers. While I have strayed from the functional, many of my vessels continue to contain light, spirit, and soul. The inside and outside are both significant.
