I believe that a diligent, exactly designed pot can bring mindfulness to the user’s life. My forms are inspired by their function and intended life within a person’s home. I lovingly, meditatively and diligently explore volume and surface texture to create pieces that invite others to touch and hold each piece with their full hand. Each curve, lip and edge is something to be cherished. My colorways are intended to be glancing, impressionistic, watercolor versions of nature and places in Minnesota- for example, the lake near a cabin in Tower, flowers in my garden or tree leaves right on the edge of summer and fall. My intention in using my techniques is to create a piece that appears grown instead of made. I wonder if pieces are alive, contain memories and stories of where, when and who created and then used the object- creating a legacy of remembrances as they are handled, used and passed on to someone new.
