I strive to compose with the language of clay...
First I wanted to build with clay, eat off its river rock surface and drink from the empty spaces it defines. I then wanted to experience the sound of clay as it moves to and fro within itself - so I make rattles which memorialize beginnings. Now I yearn for a total “Clay Shibumi” wanting to
be what the clay imparts as I wear it, so I make clay beads.
