This sculpture I created hanging from the ceiling is called “Sugi and Jade” you can’t see from this shot in the room, but there’s a piece of Jade embedded in the sculpture and it’s combined with a Japanese wood treatment called Sugi. I’m increasingly becoming more obsessed with materials combined with form as a way to communicate. It’s usually not for a while after I make a sculpture do I completely understand what it was teaching me. This one taught me to trust and simplify more. .

A new sculpture- it’s a black pearl pushing through the surface of the porcelain. .

This piece is called “Pearl” from my Black Pearl series. To me black pearls are full of mystery and strength...irresistible.

When I give my attention to the clay, I try and let the spirit of the clay speak. I sense the velvety feel of the clay coming alive in my hands. The rigid outer world of right and wrong, good and bad, dissolves and in calmness my heart seems to resonate buoyantly.
