Artist Statement
Nature gives us some of the most beautiful and unique images.  In my raku pieces, I create handbuilt forms and fire them in a kiln.  I apply glazes to the inside of the vessels for contrast and then place horsehair on the outside while the vessel is at 1800 degrees.  The unpredictable lines created by the hair engages the viewer with its sense of movement.
