about
After more than twenty years immersed in my real career of making CGI art for dozens of film, TV, and video game projects I discovered the physical, tangible joy of pottery. I never would have guessed during a simple wheel-throwing class at The Potters’ Studio in Berkeley, CA that my life and passion would turn so heavily toward this new avenue of expression, one that both contrasts dramatically with my digital endeavors, yet complements them in dedication to craft and sculpting life out of imagination.
Pottery emerged for me as a practice steeped in patience and grounded in the physicality of earth. It's a discipline where I can swim between the borders of form and function, envelop myself in the nuances of texture and glaze, and appreciate the uniqueness each handmade piece brings. The intention behind my work is to produce ceramics that invite the beholder to engage with an array of details that reveal themselves at every interaction.
My approach marries the precision I've honed through years in Computer Graphics with a newfound appreciation for the organic unpredictability of clay. It's a combination that allows for a constant exploration of the materials' limits and opportunities for invention. With each piece I strive for attention to detail while celebrating the clay's own intentions and the variations that define handcrafted pottery.
