I am creating abstract vessels with concern for movement, flow and texture: I try for my pieces to convey a dynamic act of creation, and a feeling as if the action is caught in a particular moment on a possible continuum. “Process” is for me as important as the aesthetic result of the final piece, a process somewhere between spontaneity and control. My pieces are made in a free style technique I developed, working from a block of unglazed stoneware layered with different natural shades of clay.
