Spiraling from the roots of ancient cultures, my functional and ceremonial vessels play with archetypes of historical form. I ask my pottery to communicate spirited attributes using gesture, layers of rich tactile surfaces and symbolic references to the divine.

I choose to wood-soda-fire to extreme porcelain temperatures as a rite of transformation. The commitment to this traditional process greatly enhances the innate character and expressive spirit of each individual piece. The clay and glaze surfaces become recorded narratives of the white-heat inferno of atmospheric flashing and the caressing rivers of flame throughout the thirty-six hour firing. Every piece has a poetic title which celebrates a specific intention, as well as a relationship to sacred mythologies, mysteries, visions or dreams.

I have been working as a potter in my Winlaw studio from 1976, and have taught Ceramics at Kootenay School of the Arts at Selkirk College since 1993.
