On Exploring New Forms
"Sometimes I sit down with no plan and just futz around until whatever I’m working on looks good to me. There’s a piece I just finished that started because I felt like making a tall, slender vessel that day... For pieces like this, sometimes I don’t know when they’re done! Often I will wrap them up and put them away for a couple of days, and then take another look with fresh eyes.
With the yellow vase, that was one of those pieces where I was just messing around at the studio because I didn’t feel like going home. I made three like that and when I had them all lined up, they looked like this little group of happy friends."
