Over the years I have developed a keen interest in ceramics
and the various forms of serving vessels as well as the ceremonies or practices
involved with those vessels. Within the idea of ceramics as an art I believe
there should be an aesthetic appeal to a form whether it functional or
sculptural, it should appeal to the eye. In the world of functional ceramics I also
believe there should also be an amount of comfort and enjoyment included in using
a piece. The idea of comfort just seems to follow the natural way we consume
most items; we like clothes that fit, keep us warm, and also look good. All of
these ideas must come into form while I am making a ceramic vessel, aesthetics
and comfort are as important with your drinking vessels as with any other
product of consumption. Within this beauty and form I like to use asymmetry
because of its practical applications in use as well as looks. We do not
perform tasks in 90 and 180 degree angles and I would like to reflect this in
my work. As well as a smooth operation I think an organic more asymmetric form
also is more intriguing to the eye and gives ideas of motion leading to use.
