I have been making functional pottery for over forty years. During this time I have been engaged in the history of clay, craft, aesthetics, studio process, and the semiotics of vessels. I am particularly interested in the wide range and vigor of objects used in domestic environments. The themes provided by function are familiar: vases, cups, teapots, etc. These functions are shorthand for a longer and, perhaps, less obvious list of concerns which include, in no particular order: interactivity, material, metaphor, formal constitution, social and cultural context, and the object’s relationship to "fine art" and utility as "idea”.
