ARTIST STATEMENT

I've spent the last 50 years making containers for our stuff! The joy has been exploring shape, texture, scale, firing methods, temperature, melting rocks and all the beckoning "what if" challenges one bumps into while having an intense relationship with clay. It's the  siren's call that cannot be ignored or put away for another time. It owns me.  

So my journey is to continue reinterpreting what I consider iconic service containers ( buckets, boxes, cans, etc.). 

 I have to, because it owns me.
