| ARTIST STATEMENT |
 |
|
My goal as a Clay Artist is to create objects that communicate peace & tranquility.
Inspiration and ideas are developed from studies of natural & organic forms. Elements
taken from stones, water holders and plants are studied, sketched and abstracted for
future use in design work. I hope to be able to contribute some beauty to the world. I work in porcelain & buff Stoneware, firing the pieces to Cone 10 in an oxidation atmosphere. My glazes are mostly black & white. I've begun to add slate to my work as a table top or a saucer. |
