Statement:
One
reason potters love cups so much is because they are an accessible way to get
our creative intentions into the hands of people who will use them on a regular
basis. The three I have sent to this
exhibition will, I hope, speak clearly of my intentions to anyone who spends
time with them.
On
the two hour-glass shaped cups I have played the drier, more complex textured
areas against the liquid, translucent turquoise of the glaze, much as you might
find a soft, matte feel to the under-side of a shiny leaf, or the worn surface
of a piece of driftwood afloat on a serene body of water.

The
stout mug with the etched design of a double maple seed is a combination of
turquoise glazed panels alternating with the unglazed porcelain clay. The seeds are represented under the watery
blue as they might appear in a sketchbook under a wash of watercolor. Living in the woods brings with it an
abundance of these “helicopter” seeds, which I find fascinating both
aesthetically and functionally, in the autumn.
