Artist Statement

Pots enmesh me in time. Clay’s nature and transformation cannot be sidestepped, compressed, or digitized, and so I must give my work the time it requires. This demand in turn imposes upon me a sense of time that I require – one that I hope is held in the pots as they make their way out into the world and into other hands.
