Wheel thrown and hand built pottery.
I create functional pottery with slight sculptural elements. My work is primarily wheel thrown and altered porcelain with in some cases hand-built attachments. I would like my work to reflect the soft curves of the female form and also mimic the gestures and attitude of the body. I am interested in conveying a sense of movement in some of my pots. In a way that you are forced to pick up the pots and examine them from all angles. I am also drawn to the contrast between sharp angles and smooth curves. For glazes, I like to explore the full spectrum, from shiny browns to matte pinks and anything in between. I am fascinated with the chemical changes that occur inside the kiln during the final firing stage. I love the variation and surprise when you open the kiln to discover the finished works.
