My work in clay has explored the record of impression. Juxtapositioning repeating patterns, I could create randomness and investigate asymmetry within symmetrical order. Through my selection of hard-edge geometric shapes, I would display the clay's ability to capture my decision of design for that moment. Adding surface texture and color, aside from the clay itself, aided in more asymmetry and increased the visual depth. The random placement of spatial elements lacking in geometrical definition places even more disorder within the boundaries of the form. This chaos intertwined with repeating order typifies the world that we live in and the daily lives of so many.

Wood-firing adds another dimension to the composition, ultimately helping to define one's interpretation of the whole. The inherent nature of continuous flame, intense heat, and ash upon the clay, whether glazed or unglazed, adds color and textural effects that are congruent to each piece. The unpredictability of the firing, juxtaposed to the implementation of as many controlled variables as one can, creates random visual beauty which harmonizes with the physical form. Subsequently, the form, whether functional or non-functional, has become like a diary, recording the thoughts and process of the maker and the kiln's fire.
