“There is a humble magic in the motions and materials of clay work. From earliest myths, clay work resonates with our human experience: from the formless lump of earth emerges a particular form that comes to maturity through the test of fire. The process encompasses infinite possibility, risk and routine, simplicity and complexity. Over these thirty years my work has been about these human things: love, possible failure, growth, beauty, and obsession.”
