Statement:
Today
we live in a world of convenience rather than one of necessity, and to make
functional pottery is a reaction against this convenience. From a solitary morning cup of coffee, a
noisy family dinner, or sipping a cup of whiskey with a friend, pots are used
every day by millions of people as they record and discuss their ideas,
activities and experiences. For me, this
opens a door to a part of our society that wishes to rekindle a relationship
with our past and push beyond the industrialized object of contemporary
society.
