I started making pots when I was in high school. I fell in love with the craftsmanship and engineering involved in making a functional teapot or cup. I've also always been fascinated with fossils. Different shapes and forms frozen in stone. I can't help but wonder how different parts functioned. I am also interested in botany and biology for the same reason. I'm not as interested in knowing the functions of the parts in these things as I am in wondering about the possibilities. It's a mysterious function. That's what I hope these pieces capture. Like cells frozen in time, performing some unknown dance, some function not to be understood. You provide the meaning. It's a mysterious function.
