Artist's Statement: My current work is part of a continuing adventure into vessel making. The ceremonial objects of many cultures have been of interest to me throughout my art career. The containers that people are buried in, the ritual vessels we appease the Gods with or the reliquaries we store holy objects in, these all have a certain magic about them that I enjoy.
