Sculpture

Everything we do and understand is comprised of one meaning and its opposite.  A window can be both a frame for the view beyond or a barrier against the elements.  A doorway offers both threshold into a new space and invitation to return home.  Our appreciation of beauty is in part defined by our individual definition of what we consider ugly.  I am intrigued by this intersection of opposites and the choices we make to move in one direction or another.    The ceramic materials with which I work allow me to explore this tension. 

Are my hand built components serving as bricks or windows? Which is more important the space occupied or framed? As with most situations, the answer depends on the perspective of the viewer.
