Artist's Statement: I find alternative firing processes to be inspiring after 45+ years in ceramics firing everything from ^10 reduction, salt, soda, ^6 reduction and ^6 electric. I have more fun with raku, foil saggars and clay saggars and now obvara. It is fascinating. I like using less energy which reflects my carbon footprint. To me, exploring the potential of clay is a fine art expression. The happenstance in surfaces of alternative firing processes provides endless engagement for seeking further potential in clay.
