As a ceramic artist inspired by a Modernist language of simplicity, I strive to express the formal qualities of clay vessels and enclosed forms, and use processes to reflect this esthetic. Made from porcelain, the pieces are hand-built with soft porcelain slabs as well as thrown on a treddle-wheel. By constructing each piece by hand I seek to imbue the work with subtle imperfections while capturing precision and tautness in the quality of line, volume and edge. The minimal surface palette of a few glazes allows me considerable color variations, while maintaining visual restraint.

Conceptually I am interested in volumetric forms, which explore containment of space and express ideas of architectural and structural space. By creating a fusion of simple shapes with the alchemy of kiln fired surfaces, I intent to place my work at the threshold of serendipity and control, the intersection of archetypes and architecture.
