I believe that anything relevant that any artist does is autobiographical - it's impossible to create a piece without having it be a direct reflection of the person constructing it. It doesn't matter if it's a pott, painting, photo or conceptual piece; if the artwork doesn't mirror the artist, it's not going to be valid and stand on it's own.

That is a basis of many of my potts. A lot of my pieces are done as simple wheel thrown forms, some as thrown forms with a quirk to the shift of the function, while some start as quirks and progress from there. A select few of the pieces are just visions that demand to be fulfilled.

Who the artist - or anyone, for that matter - is developing into is a combination of what's inside as well as the host of experiences collected on life's highway. Some pieces are portraying a singular self-inspection of my psyche, some are my interpretations of the situations of others, and some of those select visions are just tourist snapshots of what goes through my brain sometimes when I least expect it.

The old saying that "life is not a destination, it is a journey of importance" holds true for me. My pieces are reminders of where I've been and glimpses of where I'm at and where I'm going.

My pieces are all fragmented views of my journey. Come travel with me awhile.
