My work is exclusively hand-built, using slabs of clay to form functional and semi-functional pieces that are references to containers.
Patterns embedded in the surface are unique to each piece, and the matte exterior, which emphasizes the designs, contrasts with the glossy interior. Each form is distinct in shape and design.
My clay work is a natural extension of an early career in archaeology, classical and near Eastern, when I uncovered pottery discovered in field excavations - identification and research.
