Inspiration and motivationThe shapes that exist in nature, specifically flowers inspire me to create work that has an organic sculptural form. The bowls are designed asymmetrically having a different view from each side, revealing themselves fully when the viewer peers inside. My work consists of soft slabs placed into layers somewhat like a puzzle. I use special glazes designed to bring out the detail of the construction without distracting from the shape. My emphasis in my work is to produce clay art that has flowing sculptural lines, flower like qualities with a touch of whimsy.
