"Form always wins over function. Kiln size is my only limitation but just requires creativity to overcome. My structures have always been somewhat "architectonic" in shape; I inherited that by exposure. The handbuilt forms are labor intensive and made from slabs. These slabs give the work their two-dimensional, sleek look. Many layers of color, sanding, carving and rubbing are used to achieve the desired result. If I don't like it, it goes back for more.
The pieces tend to take on a personality, whether cocky or stoic that comes from the pleasure I get making them and the care they get during the process." - Ruth Siporski
