Artist Statement:

My fascination with the effects of wire cutting through soft clay has been an ongoing investigation in my thrown and handbuilt vessels since my grad school years. Over time I have experimented with sulphates, underglaze washes, and metallic lusters in an attempt to merge the freshness and immediacy of the wire-cut textures with a surface treatment that suggests something closer to geologic time. I'm excited when the pieces suggest polished stone, fossilized elements or striated layers.
