Artist Statement

The many variables that comprise a ceramic vessel inspire me. The process of choosing the clay, working at the wheel to form the piece, glazing, and, finally, the firing itself, creates almost infinite possibilities. I search for a combination of these elements that results in a cohesive, pleasing vessel. I work in several clays, from porcelain to dark stoneware. Most of my work is wheel thrown in my studio in Concord, MA. I make my own glazes, sometimes using natural materials such as the ashes from our fireplace. I often use traditional glazes, including Nuka, Ohata, Temmoku and Celadon. My work is usually fired in a reduction atmosphere in my gas kiln. This firing method contributes a final note of uncertainty to the outcome of the work. Ceramics teaches me patience, humility, and sparks my curiosity. I have the utmost respect for fellow potters, past and present.
