Artist Statement
I have focused on expressionist forms and the potential to incite the mind toward something beyond the technical aspects of making art, beyond the mechanical task of creating physical forms out of clay, that blend both historical references and contemporary intellectual values.
Initially, I saw wood firing ceramics in an Anagama kiln as the perfect tool for abstract expression. A creative process with resulting patinas ranging from Celedon to molten lava, that inevitably records the passage of time. Abstract creations suspended between the states of evolution and de-evolution.
Over five decades it has been my creative touchstone where 10-day firings served to develop a personal dialogue and expand surface possibilities; among other aspects was an instrumental conduit for the intangible qualities of mystery and spirit melding intuition
and alchemy.
It is not simply a furnace for finishing work.
