ARTIST STATEMENT
I think of myself as a sculptor who chooses to create in clay, preserving parts of this medium's rich tradition while stretching its identity as a contemporary three-dimensional material. I like to begin a body of work with an open mind, making a number of new forms to ponder and mentally digest - allowing each to lead and direct the next. Some works become animated and take on figurative references while others remain purely formal and concerned with striking a resonance between shape, surface, space and environment. Often visual alliances occur between individual pieces, demanding that they be stacked or grouped.
Surface vocabulary is also important. I consider the "skin" of each piece from inception, using repeated glazing and multiple firings to create cracked volcanic layers that are purposely juxtaposed to smooth metallic areas. A single piece may consist of a dozen parts and change color and texture many times before a final visual relationship evolves.
