Design, form, texture, contrast, rhythm, light and shadow are some of the words that I engage with in my practice. In classical pottery forms, rims are edges that define the relationship between the interior and exterior plains; a point of transition where we are invited to peer into the belly of a form and become consciously aware of the space within. Through carefully considered cuts and incisions that interrupt the linear flow of classic forms, I attempt to use space as a key component of design; edges are created and three dimensional patterns are achieved through exposure and concealments.
