Artist Statement:
I live in woodlands of central
North Carolina, an area which
offers great access to a
multitude of other artists of
various media, not the least
of which is a significant
ceramics tradition.
As a ceramic artist and
Architect with an interest in
Archaeology, I explore imagery
of encrusted surfaces and
forms which simultaneously
embody or evoke ancient and
present time, and usually
appear to have been lifted
from ancient tombs. I also
enjoy exploring tension of
function vs. non-function as
(surprisingly, for me) my work
has become more sculptural.
Overall, I enjoy 'process':
finding local clay deposits,
developing a workable body,
exploring form, and firing
various regimes.
Most of my current work is
barrel-fired earthenware,
using foil saggers with
various combustibles and
surface treatments, and
although I strive to control
basics, ultimately the process
retains its own magical
secrets, so that every piece
is a delightful discovery.
It has been said that ceramic
folk tend to be mud daubers or
pyromaniacs. I am both.
