Artist's Statement: I tend to work in cycles of making sculptural works or functional pots. Recently, I've returned to the type of work I did fifteen years ago using low fire and bright colors and sandblasting my textures. I have once again become intrigued by the relationships of the organic form and textural surfaces.
