Artist Statement:
Art Forms
Most of my work consists of
wheel thrown porcelain forms
based on organic patterns of
microscopic and macroscopic
organisms. Some are based on
seed pods, teeth, pollen, sea
animals, squash, and even
watermelon, but as the
development proceeds, they
merge and take on new forms of
possible and imaginary
organisms. All are hand made,
one of a kind pieces, usually
done in a series, so there
might be some similarity among
some pieces, but no two are
ever exactly alike.
Seed Pods
For most of my life, I have
been both attracted to and
very allergic to, large
numbers of trees, grasses, and
bushes. I have refused to
become trapped indoors just
because of these allergies,
and as I began to develop my
own sculptural forms, I
examined both macroscopic and
microscopic forms in nature.
By examining the form and
structure of seeds and other
natural objects, I found great
beauty in these simple forms,
and developed simple organic
sculptural designs, based on
slightly abstract versions of
these natural objects.
