A thread that runs through all of my work is the interaction with the materials that I utilize. It’s a sensate process. Hands manipulating clay, touching, coaxing, burnishing. It is a classic give and take. The relationship between the edges, the use of line, and form, feels like poetry.  Out of this relationship comes the emergence of a natural form, from a natural form; a personal visual expression born out of touch. I am a builder who is not required to measure.
