Working primarily with stoneware and making use of a few slips and glazes, my pieces are intended for daily use on the table or altar. As I work I do my best to focus equally on the process and my state of mind, aware that each step of the way will be revealed in the end result. Deeply grateful for the boundaries that function and tradition place on my work, I aim to make objects that evoke a sense of history yet are born entirely of our present moment.
My current body of work is centered on the production of ceremonial vessels for use in religious ritual and individual spiritual practice.
