WORKS
Tableware—My pottery for the table consists of a
variety of cups, bowls, plates, & platters that are
wheel-thrown or slab-built, and intended for daily use. The
forms may be round, square, or free-form, and I apply the
glaze and decoration with an eye toward enhancing the form.
Vases—Based on the simple cylinder form or slab
construction, my work with vases and containers allows me to
explore endless combinations of form, texture, and color. The
vases are for holding flowers and so I allow them to be
thick-walled and weighty, perhaps stone-like, to provide good
support and solidity.
Covered Jars—Covered jars are for containing
things, perhaps precious things, and I welcome the challenge
of creating jars that may have a precious quality in and of
themselves. Themes and ideas emerge in my jars over the
years, often repeated but always pointing toward new
directions.
