Artist Statement

Aromatic wood; burns loudly in the kiln on the mountain,
The earth trembles on this moonlit night, we stay still,
Our hands are of potters; our flesh is clay,
We are not history; we are the spirit of the living person.
We are transporters of energy from one landscape to another,
We transport ambition from Concordia to the summit of K2,
We are able to transform earth and fire into objects of desire.
