Artist Statement

Since 1971, I have worked with industrial processes because I am able to make things that I cannot make
any other way. For example, I slip cast my forms, a process that utilizes plaster molds and enables thinly made
porcelain. Recently, I transfer images to the cups with decals which enable me to place a drawing on a cup 
that is detailed and filled with time.

I make all the models, all the molds, and dream up all the slip and glaze formulas. I draw all the drawings, print all
 the decals, produce, glaze, and fire the ware. It is safe to say that the cups are handmade.
