From the artist's website: "My wood-fire pottery has firm foot in both Japanese and American folk pottery traditions. My fascination with both the eastern Wabi-Sabi and western folk art styles has allow me to play and morph both aesthetics together. My ability to use the groundhog and anagama wood kilns allows me to pursue to two distinct surface treatments on my pottery…The anagama kiln allows for a sublet ash glazed surface and patterning. All the pottery is fully functional. Use it, live with it, and let it speak to you."
