Artistic Statement:
The form and purpose of historical
objects has always been a fascination of mine.
What life did these objects witness?
What daily uses did they perform?
Who might have handled them?
These are constant thoughts in the back
of my mind after viewing such artifacts.
I strive to recreate these thoughts in
the mind of my viewer; through my developed technique I hope that my work, just
as those that I attempt to emulate, may also withstand time.
After being thrown on the potter’s wheel,
I work swiftly to alter each piece by cutting and reassembling with noticeable
connection points and seams. Through high
iron clay’s and reduction cooling, I am able to achieve the patina of relics
that I desire to imitate.
I am confident that my pottery will be
equally as functional and striking as those historical artifacts I admire.
