| Artist
Statement |
 Participation in the mysteries of creation and transformation as a potter
gives me deep satisfaction.
As an artist I need a metaphor to speak about the changes within and around me,
and I want my work to be accessible to everyone. Utility is a language that people
the world over understand. Beauty for me is a way to connect with people across
times and cultures.
Three foundations, universality, transformation, and beauty lead me to choose
not only clay but also specifically pottery. This is the forum in which I live
and move and make work.
Pottery has potential to both affirm and celebrate the physicality of being human
(eating and drinking, seeing and touching) and to transcend while including the
physical by expressing emotion and feeling, idea and energy. Because of the nature
of the ceramic process (taking formless material from the earth and defining form,
structure, color and texture), ceramics speaks about change and transformation.
I choose pottery because it lends itself to my artistic vision. It provides an
apt vessel to express my belief that beauty resides in the ordinary, the everyday,
and the human.
As an artist in the first part of the twenty first century utilizing ceramics
enables me to reach across categories and boundaries and celebrate a common sense
of humanity.
