| Years in Review: Period of transition. While an undergrad at San Francisco State University, I was introduced to hand-building and sculpture. Prior to SFSU, my clay work was exclusively wheel thrown pottery. The introduction of the closed form, altering thrown forms, slab work, and hand-building all profoundly changed the way I worked with clay. I was introduced to the idea of working from what you know. As a machinist and working in high-tech manufacturing, I knew machines. The influence of my "day job" can be found taking roots at this time. |
