dedication, and sincerity, values quickly dissolving in today’s society.
We live in a world that tells us that we must have what our neighbors
have to be happy. Throwing is an escape from this voice.
Pots are
relatable and accessible to every human being. They are not esoteric.
These useful, everyday objects often create their own significance only
made possible by the thought of the maker. Every detail, from form, to
foot, to handle, breathes personality into an inanimate object. Even the
most subtle details give each new pot the opportunity to speak
differently; the chance to become more graceful, more charming, more
reserved.
I view each piece as a three dimensional canvas. My
surfaces are where memory, music, and emotion are visualized with the
stroke of a brush. Layers of vibrant colors, abstract shapes and active
lines live in an indecipherable yet familiar landscape. Within this land
exist ideas of human fragility and understanding. It reaches for
momentary glimmers of a better future.”

Terrain is used as a general term in physical geography, often
referring to the visible layer of land. We often think of terrain as
broad and expansive, however, the subtle surface changes on an object
translate into a micro-topography and a feast for the eyes. Terrain can
be the main event – inspiring, remarkable and evocative – as well as an
invitation to discover what lies beneath.
