I
make pots because I love the process and limitless possibilities
involved when working with clay. I am attracted to the idea that
mankind made pottery before the written word. Pottery was an
essential and fundamental part of early civilization. Yet today
pots fulfill a different requirement in modern life by carrying
a message of life. I have made this object with my hands with
the intentions of you using it with your hands. Your touch embracing
my touch. The direct connection between maker and user. This
is an essential and fundamental consideration I enjoy when I
work.
