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
and 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.
