My pots are deliberate, highly crafted, and intended for daily use. I draw inspiration from the world around me and have a special affinity for things that grow. I do not seek to replicate natural forms. Rather, I look to the formal logic of plants and flowers, to the feeling and experience of growth, expansion, vitality, and beauty. I translate these qualities into something tangible, useful, and nourishing in the form of functional ceramics.

 I divide my pots symmetrically, using line as a means of projecting order onto my forms. This evokes the structured, recurring, and purposeful quality of nature. It is a language of symmetry and simplicity. Purposeful ornamentation enhances and highlights areas of  connection and elevates the act of use.The handle should feel as though it were made for your hand and the lip should caress your own as though that were its only purpose. The visual language should enhance the sensual experience.

In these ways, my work can elevate and celebrate the everyday. My hope is that my pots can find their home in the rituals and rhythms of daily life. Furthermore, my aim is that my work may change the way we see these everyday tasks by imbuing what was once ordinary with new and growing meaning.
