| The
work I make is based on the vessel as metaphor, the vessel as container. My vessels contain softness, sensuality, privacy, discovery - all the while investigating a relationship to the body and the natural world. Living forms such as the human body are developed by millennia of evolutionary pressures. |
I
seek to invoke the same sense of order and time in my work. Evolution is a useful metaphor for the art-making process, as the vessel is a useful metaphor for a human being. I have chosen the word “vessel” carefully, as it is neither pot nor object. |
In my
life I play many roles; my work reflects just such a multifaceted world. The vessel is important to me because it contains literally space in a cavity, but also personal expression and connection to ceramic history. I am committed to work that invokes usefulness, as I am committed to being of use in my community. |
