"What is to exciting about looking at a sleeping tiger?" Nothing. But if you take a stick and poke at it, you will remember that tiger for the rest of your life. This is part of a conversation I once had at the Minnesota Zoo. In many ways, this parallels my attitude towards clay: it requires poking to awaken it. One must push the limits, test waters, search, prod and explore its many boundaries.
For more than ten years my work has been focused on Miniature Teapots. The teapot form continues to challenge and fascinate me.
