After many years of working as a studio potter, my interests and concerns have gradually shifted from a quiet aesthetic based on function. Beginning with an allusion to function, I am seeking a tension in the work, something unexpected in the usual process. For example, the exteriors of my coil-built pots show little of their origins while the interiors revel in the pinch and texture of the coil method. Likewise with my wheel thrown pots, I am working to create a tension between the pure functionality of the shape and the play of design elements. With my glazes and surface treatments I am particularly drawn to layered matte and satin glazes, often with brushed stains, often revealing the bare clay. This results in a great deal of variation in the surface colors and textures, offering something new each time you look at the piece.My work is available at the following galleries:
