For many years now I have worked in earthenware,
raku technique. On the other hand, my current efforts
in porcelain
are in response to travel and work in the People’s Republic
of China and to an ongoing commitment to keeping the adventure
in the studio alive. My central interests have not changed
although the work has. Today, I’m thinking more about
architecture, but essentially I am concerned with landscape
imagery as a focal point of mediation. Space, both real and
implied, is of utmost importance. I strive to establish
a
zone of quiet coherence – a place full of silent, empty
space where finite and infinite, intimate and immense intersect
. . . the material and immaterial oscillate. In combination
they become the alchemical philosopher’s stone. Perhaps,
psyche and matter are the same.
