In my work with plateau-dishes, ududrums, and sculptural objects, I experiment with round, square, spherical, oval, pleated, and bevel-edged forms.

I explore the contrasts between tranquillity and motion, uncertainty and security, boredom and total chaos.
The objects are loaded with energy by a combination of slow, controlled handbuilding and rapid, unpredictable smoke-firing.
