My
work has evolved to incorporate multiple media: porcelain, wood,
found objects and wrought metal.
I
began in ceramics and came to specialize in crystalline
porcelain*. But the combination of the translucency of porcelain
and the beauty of crystalline, begged to be explored. Hence the
lamps.
My
aesthetic is simply the reverence of nature. My work is a humble and
futile attempt to synthesize it. Better I should be a gardener –
which I am when I’m not making lamps.
*Crystalline
porcelain: metal
crystals
in
a field of glass, fired on a base of
high
temperature porcelain bisque.
The
process dates back to the late
Ming Dynasty (circa 1640AD).
