Ceramic vessel forms are inherently anthropomorphic. I have always been interested in the ability of a vessel to point to something beyond itself—to function as metaphor. My recent work is intended to evoke a feeling of fluidity and growth, of human gesture, stance, and striving, perhaps even of narrative content.

Through spontaneous handling of inanimate clay, I attempt to find and breathe life into form. The material directs me as I direct it. We are in a reciprocal relationship.
