Artist Statement
In my work I try to utilize simple techniques. This allows for freedom of ideas and process. Shape, form, use and color inform and question other possibilities. My work uses shape and form to inflate color. Working within the realm of function expands the potential. History of ceramics, painting and sculpture collide. Clay has a simple directness – it prints beautifully.
The field of ceramics is undergoing some exciting technical changes that will eventually by used by the ceramic artist. The wall needs to have a door.
