My work is concerned with fragmentation, remaking, and wholeness and the potential of materials to interact, and transform particularly in response to eternal forces such as heat or pressure.  I generally work by hand using traditional tools and techniques, a process which, for me, links past present and future as the new work emerges.  The slower process of hand working encourages a way of seeing and then re-seeing the materials and allows new ideas and forms to emerge in a reflective dialogue with the materials.
