Authenticity is a value that I hold very dear. We live in a world that seems to move more and more into the realm of technology and “artificial intelligence” and further and further away from the skill of the human hand and aesthetic sensibilities. My aim is to make pieces that express an honest attempt to work with natural materials and the dynamic interplay between clay and fire. My hope is that some of my work will resonate with my fellow humans, providing them with either useful objects for daily life or sustainable impressions of aesthetic pleasure and beauty.
