I often think of building pots similar to making collages, these pots are evident of these two worlds combined. I am intrigued with the beauty and aura of historical ceramics and my process starts by carefully observing the subtleties of these objects. I begin my making paintings, paper cut outs, of these pieces. I then cut apart the drawings and collage them back together, this is a way for me to break comfortable habits and possibly get unexpected results. These drawings become the inspiration for the pots.
These pieces are inspired both in form and decoration from many cultures including China, Spain, Turkey, Iran, Mexico, Italy, Portugal, and Japan.
