I am interested in liminality. The spaces between art and craft; between the figurative and the abstract. Where the subconscious informs the aesthetic and the aesthetic triggers the subconscious. The symbiosis of the work and the mind.

I believe that clay is a great healer. Feeling the squelch of clay slipping through the fingers requires no skill, but the real thrill is in developing techniques that transform the muck into objects we can relate to. 

My work is building strength through shape and form. Each piece holds itself in an expressive way, like tailored clothing. I’ve worked with clay for the last six years. For twenty years I’ve been designing with textiles. From designing clothing I know how the cloth fits the body and how the flow drapes the form.

I’m continually impressed by the lack of waste in creating ceramic art. What fails in the process can be recycled back into raw material or broken down into a grog to be mixed into rougher forms of clay.

Every fingertip and mark made by the hand gives each piece of work raw energy and imprint that will last forever. I am drawn to leave the imperfections, as they are a part of what I am.
