I view experimentation and risk as a prerequisite to making meaningful. I create original palettes of pigmented porcelain -- quite demanding material of cutting and arranging individual pieces into a cogent composition as a vessel or panel. The process is buoyantly demanding, requiring a great deal of planning and improvisation to stay on the clay's good side. My work combines iconic form with a revisionist approach to color theory to create bold porcelain vessels and wall works.
