“ I’m deeply inspired by fire and the way it transforms clay beyond intention or control. Wood and soda firing invites an ongoing adventure—an active collaboration between material, flame, and time—where the surface carries evidence of that shared experience and emerges with a quiet, mysterious presence.”
