Artist’s Statement

The ever-growing darkness of my vision and other losses have been part of my recent work. In my current work I use pieces of slabs with broken edges, fingermarks, and scratches as I build and construct sculpture always asking does it makes sense and does it look right. At times the work can become a swirl of movement. In my earlier works as now I combine the motion, rhythm and dynamics of both music and dance to produce purely sculptural forms. References to nature were implied and abstracted.

Currently, as in the past I have used terra sigillata in various forms. I still use glazes, underglazes, slips and washes to complete the surfaces and interiors. I can fire my work numerous times at various temperatures to bring the work to its completion.
