"I strive to create objects which embody a sense of the richness of life and time, memory, longing and loss. Our lives are stories formed of “memory traces”, the residue of our experiences. I work from this source to capture and distill recollected sensations and images.
I also draw on 'memory traces' at large in our visual culture (commercial decals, shards of industrial plaster molds, drawn images) and those of ceramic history (persian ceramics, Blue and white Chinese export ware, Delft ware, Sevres Porcelain, 19th century canadian underglazd print ware). The contemporary ceramic object can be understood as a souvenir – a simultaneous overlay of our histories, our present and our presence."
