Path and Inspiration
I have been working with clay since 1978. My approaches and methods have shifted over the years. I've created ceramics with techniques including throwing, coiling, and slab construction; created items such as functional tableware, tightly lidded vessels, and sculptures; and learned the crafts of both conventional firing and raku. My recent work explores the significance of the mask.Process and Practice
Masks represent the duality of concealment and of performance, both hiding and revealing aspects of ourselves. My sculpted masks address themes of mortality, visibility and invisibility, and challenges in speaking and being heard.
