Once a moment is past, it becomes only a memory, a fragmented collection we draw upon, layers of experience in our lives, and it is the documentation in our minds of our own journey.  Time is something none of us can hold on to, our memories are frozen moments of time captured and held onto in our minds and hearts.

Moving beyond the structure and security of defined forms I find each experience builds towards the next. Ceramics is art and alchemy combined into one.  This constant dialogue between the two is the basis of my continued practice.

The firing process has evolved into another element of the manipulation of the pieces. Strategically setting them up to change form in a semi controlled manner during the firing, capitalizing on the strength and malleability of porcelain. This process allows for the creation of fissures and undulations not seen prior to the firing.

I hold onto a high regard for ceramics history and tradition. I am still very much a ceramic purist at heart and my work continues to be individual hand made pieces that defy standard industrialized mass production.

  Each piece becomes an archive of my experience with the material, each experience expanding on the past.
