Form and shape are the foundation of my work and happen before I ever begin work on the surface. There are infinite ways you can decorate your work. This nature brings novelty and excitement to my work with clay. My passion is exploring the many ways one can create texture and color on a surface. You can use something as simple as water and flour to decorate your pot. You can fire your work at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, pull it out when it’s glowing white, and throw oxide on its surface. I believe my goal is not to change the wheel. No matter how infinitesimal it may be, my hope is to be able to impart my own personal experience and story into my works. I love to create work that is light and fragile. It requires you to pause and admire their delicateness and vulnerability. There’s wisdom in creating things that can stand the test of time, but I believe it is the fragility of a piece that brings with it its character and changes our experience with the work.
