These are new collection of wheel thrown vessels, some altered, with surfaces from wet and clear, to segments which mirror like luster. The inspiration for these has been a tour of some of the nations water covered areas They're friends with, and express the true feel for the material, and some relation to the watery region, (open water wetlands, waterfalls, etc.) To a great extent, a potter is connected to the character of the material, because clay has a positive physical property, there are natural limits to how far clay will stretch. The same property which keeps clay within a center can also expand and stretch its usefulness as a cereative material, it's tactile, and the surfaces in these recent works communicate the natural, and a sense of place.
