Artist's Statement: I have work with fabric and clay for years, often "seeing" how my garment could form vessels, and how the boundaries of my clay vessels could continue further, evolving to a softer shape. Combining the two came easily as I saw how certain fabrics and glazes were natural complements to one another.
