Statement:
Jars
and teapots have been central to my practice for a number of years now. The teapot, more demanding of specific
engineering particular to its function, and the jar, a generous canvas, its
criteria of containment more permissive.
These pieces fuel or act as counterpoint to other forms, or subjects
under consideration. I am interested in pottery form for its familiarity and
congeniality, its ability to disappear into private/personal activities and
places. But this is only one aspect of
the work that, through its intelligence of color, form and stance can also
excite/awaken attention and thereby reflects back to the viewer their own
imagination. Invisible or visible, or
oscillating back and forth between these states, the pots foster both attention
and inattention.
