Artist's Statement: Clay can be rigid, surprising, consistent, exciting and frustrating. And yet, I live for the anticipation of kiln openings, when I have tried to control it all, but in the end, the clay, glaze and kiln have the final say. I am delighted, perplexed, challenged and astonished by the results, then back at it again. It is an addiction, obsession or passion; maybe all of the above. These are the reasons why clay will continue to be my chosen medium.
