Artist Statement
I had been making functional pottery for seven years when I discovered Raku firing techniques and fell in love.
I make something out of mud and the fire makes it beautiful while I watch. I'm a voyeur peeking in the kiln, fascinated by the flames licking each pot.
I'm a fire bug caught by the bright orange clay sparking under my iron tongs.
And when the flames have died, I thrust my hands into burning embers to pluck my secret love from the smoke and ashes.
