“Objects that are made by craftspeople inherently bear countless marks made by the two hands that created them. They were never planned that way, however, neither was the passing of time, nor the change in seasons. 

The Vestige series embodies the time that the clay holds, the experience accumulated in the hands, and the stories of repetition and endurance.

Colored clay is layered with soft white clay, which intermingle and mix as they are spun on the wheel to form fluid formations. 

The hands choose what type of clay to place where, but the properties of the soft clay and the rotational movement of the wheel work together to create unintentional effects.

A mass is created on the borderline between intent and happenstance. The surface of this mass is then carved away layer by layer to reveal new vestiges that are hidden within. 

The traces of time formed by accumulated moments are turned to eternity in the fiery kiln.”
