I am interested in and fascinated greatly by most things ancient and life in ancient times in general, particularly in the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages. Though my work may not appear representative of these particular times I do draw inspiration from them. Ancient Korea, China, Thailand and Japan as well as Bronze and Iron Age Europe all hold special interest for me. Also, I have strong interests in architecture, design and our natural environment.
I believe that my thrown and combination thrown/hand-built pieces best represent my interests in these areas. The purely hand-built sculptural pieces I make also reference historic times, but in a somewhat more subtle and contemporary way. The thrown work, though, more closely represents my interests in ancient forms of containment, in the family, in ritual and in social structures in general.
