"My work is a conversation between the clay and myself—a dynamic, improvisational dialogue much like the rhythms I once created as a jazz musician. In my ceramics, I embrace spontaneity and risk, allowing the material to guide me rather than imposing my will upon it. This interplay results in forms that feel organic, with each piece reflecting the unpredictable nature of the process. 

Crystalline ceramics have captivated me because of their inherent mystery and complexity. The glazes I use are constantly evolving, as I experiment with new combinations and chemistry, always chasing the elusive and unexpected. I am not satisfied with predictable outcomes; I seek that one piece in several firings that holds magic—often arriving in a form I hadn’t intended. It’s a practice rooted in trial and error, where cracks, imperfections, broken pieces and misfirings are abundant."
