This current body of work stems from a love of pattern and texture and is inspired by baskets, textiles and paper vessels. I draw from a variety of traditional and non-traditional methods to achieve these forms and surfaces, combining thrown elements, patterned slabs, wood firing, salt glazing and paper templates The vessel format I reference is inspired by ceramic traditions from medieval England to Japanese wood fired wares and Scandinavian design, yet is specific to this time and place. The pieces are fired in atmospheric kilns to enhance the play between clay, texture and glaze. The firing is a catalyst for my creative process, yielding surfaces of subtle complexity that inspire new directions and explorations. These pots represent a culmination of experiences and influences, drawing from several fields of craft media. Their common thread is a joy in making and a love of material, and it is these qualities that I strive for in my work.
