"I am very aware of my body in space, and dextrous with my hands, and so I enjoy the corporeal immediacy of working with clay… I like that it has great narrative potential, also revealing truths about its creator as well as stories about civilizations long gone. I love the poetry of all the elements, earth, wind, water, fire and air, combining into one form. I find it constantly reinforces in me patience and acceptance. "
