Over the years I have developed methods of working with clay that are meant to
bring out the natural qualities of that material and of the process of drying,
shrinking, glazing, melting, and firing. By multiple firing, and layering of
slips and glazes, I try to make objects that have stratified active surfaces
that snap and crackle with energy. I am looking for meaning and content in the
dynamics of the process and trying to apply this to my general aesthetic or
world view.
