Clay is not my primary profession - that’s architecture. Ceramics is a purer form of design and architecture - instead of writing a manual for someone else to build from, I do the design and the construction. I’m the client, and only have to answer to myself if I have some idea that takes forever to bring to life.

I approach clay as an architect. We’re responsible for concieving designs while considering construction methods: likewise, I think of appearance, function, and the ceramic process when designing a piece. Every piece draws from past work, making for an organic process; one could diagram my work over the last few years (inclusive of academic architectural projects, photography, drawing, painting, &c.), web the interrelationships, and show the lineage of outside influences, individual ideas.
