"Over the years, my work has been transformed. Initially, my science
background led me to believe that all in nature could be broken down
into the simplest of components. Pottery, broken down, was a combination
of earth and fire, nothing more. My work tried to convey that basic
idea, using simple shapes, applying few colors. However, I soon realized
that nothing man touches can remain simple. Even the most minimal of
pieces invoked profound involved statements which often overshadowed the
original idea of the piece. Recently I have begun to focus my attention
on this strange aspect of man. I have stretched and twisted the idea of
the vessel, hoping to invoke a search for the simple line of a familiar
form. Colors have become complicated, so subtleties become a rare find."
