WorkІ：Jade Sea Urchin Globe

Dimensions:  14cm h x 22cm w x 22cm d

Instruction：In my signature work, I create classic forms with surface textures that give the work energy and vitality.  I seek to create patterns and textures that explore the organic interplay between order and randomness as found in nature. The result is art that is both pleasing and alive.

WorkⅡ：Winter Sun Flower

Dimensions:  18cm h x 25cm w x 25cm d

Concept:  The tactile feel and visual look of surface textures are essential to my pieces.  I create textures by deeply impressing patterns into thrown cylinders.  Then, working from the inside only, I expand the cylinder to create the final form.  This technique allows the pattern to evolve as the clay twists and expands.  As the pattern adjusts to the shape and function of the vessel, it becomes reflective of nature’s adaptation to form.

WorkⅢ：Red Diamond Globe Vase

Dimensions:  16cm h x 20cm w x 20cm d

Concept:  The tactile feel and visual look of surface textures are essential to my pieces.  I create textures by deeply impressing patterns into thrown cylinders.  Then, working from the inside only, I expand the cylinder to create the final form.  This technique allows the pattern to evolve as the clay twists and expands.  As the pattern adjusts to the shape and function of the vessel, it becomes reflective of nature’s adaptation to form.

My goal is to pursue the interplay of shape, surface texture, ordered patterns, and random effects so that work is created that intrigues the eye and demands to be touched.  Although my work is functional, it is often prized as decorative.
