I make useful ceramic vessels that are designed for aesthetic pleasure as well as utility. I am attempting, via my work, to enter into the very personal space of the viewer/user’s home, thus participating in the intimate (and very necessary) rituals of another’s daily life. From the consumption of food to the decoration of the home, function and aesthetics can co-exist in all aspects of life. I see the items that I make as being useful “jewels” - shiny, small in stature, and made with as much care as possible. My vessels seek to share my passion for both elegance and playfulness. Decoration versus content, beauty versus pragmatism; these are the dialectics that inform my work.
