In these times of chaos, when forever lasts for only a year, it comforts me to create art that is eternal. Perfect practice makes perfect, and ceramics is one of the most prolific mediums useable to capture this timeless mantra. The evolution of transformation and adaptation that is the creation process makes each piece everlasting and is where its power is derived. I’ve taken an ancient craft, and revised it capturing the attention of the modern contemporary art world.
