This is a general description of my work. When an art show application only has three lines, and I make all kinds of amusing/beautiful/useful things, it’s a challenge to find the common threads, describe what I care about in design, and make every word count. I think this skims the surface:

Soda fired handbuilt stoneware and porcelain characterized by a looseness of form. Surfaces use materials and techniques - flashing slips, oxides, carving, glazes - that are enhanced by atmospheric firing. Visually engaging pieces from everyday tableware to optionally functional sculpture.

Thought goes into design, and design evolves throughout the process of fabrication, further evolving during repetition. A design studio professor once commented that my process resembled that of Sol LeWitt, while the results bore more resemblance to Andy Goldsworthy’s. There’s an idea in everything.
