As I transform the clay into different shapes, I am challenged to express the duality of my material—that it is at the same time hard and soft, rigid and flowing.  That it can suggest clay and fabric and metal is a part of the challenge and excitement of creating.  The resulting works, constructed of fixed and mutable components draw me through unexpected doorways.

 My forms become bricks and windows, fabric scraps and building blocks.  They can obscure or reveal. As the forms meander along the wall my eye can explore space both within and around. These components frame a story and are a story in their own right---a language spoken in three dimensions.
