Artist Statement
The road to authenticity is long and there's been chaos. Surprisingly, I find chaos has order...a self-organization within. This quality of re-organization is also everywhere in nature. It's a theme in my work meant to challenge my preconceptions. I ask if beauty can come from chaos? |
Process is important to the theme.

"Without Measure" Porcelain pouches are smoke fired with combustibles to leave unpredictable color behind. Randomness, or "chaos", seems to be an irreplaceable ingredient. |
|
|
Arranging without thinking or analyzing allows the work to organize itself. It's a slow process. |
|
The final product is something that could only arrive after "taking my hands off" and trusting the process. The need to see beauty in everything drives my work. |
