Clay: (No other media is as intimate and tactile)

What draws me to metal and clay are their abilities to transform. I am drawn to the
organic lines and shapes of nature. Currently, much of my time is spent developing these
organic elements. Clay’s qualities of texture, light and shadow lend themselves to
capturing these elements in three dimensions. The process of creating a fluid form from a
shapeless raw material is always satisfying. In my contemporary work I tend to extremes.
One minimal, using as few
elements and lines as possible to
engage the observer and convey a moment. The other,
complex and precise, attempting to connect the observer
with the form. In the creative process metal is manipulated
at arms length, through heat and force. Clay offers me the
opposite. The tactile experience of touch, being intimately
involved with forming the work.
