I prefer to work within a set of limitations. I believe
that there are great possibilities for artistic expression
within the boundaries of functional formation. My artwork
considers function along with the natural qualities
of sculptural objects. I strive to create ceramic objects
that bridge the gap between traditional pottery concepts
and sculptural forms. My present interest is in demonstrating
how the casting process translates a dimensional surface
treatment from a decorative embellishment on the outside
into a physical representation on the inside.
