As I construct each vessel I am thinking about configuration. To create
layers of proportions, volume and line I collect images of chance scenes,
created by the lifting lines and weighty shadows found in the doorways and
windows of old barns, sheds and homes. These architectural structures
have moved through time, enhanced by aging.
The structures of my pots and groupings are built up and broken down,
embodying assertive compositions.
Using material and steps in the making process I record marks, shapes and
construction, leading the user in and out of each structure.
Rhythm is created through the succession of shapes and color found in the
profile, opening and surfaces of each pot and set. Color is an activating
focal point for dynamism that resonates through the conversation between
layers, edges, and endpoints of soft and hard geometry. Vessels take on
strong gesture as you move through each configuration of parts. These
complicated compositions become approachable and engaging.
