"I love clay, its malleability, its versatility, its limitations, its basicness. Clay challenges me. Shape fascinates me,combining unexpected shapes, the round with the angular, the flat with the fluid, into pots, lamps etc.
I love color. Color is energy, excitement. There is a centuries old relationship between clay and color; and I feel very much a part of that tradition. Fitting decoration to shape is often surprising and stretches one's ideas of what works and what doesn't.
