"The architecture of my work is a union of alternative surfaces and utilitarian design. I record my observations in my pottery so that I may not forget my thoughts as the world around me shifts and colors’ meanings change. A pot needs to function in a way not only to satisfy the task, but also to connect with the contemporary world."
