"Primarily, I am interested in the influence of 17th and 18th century Japanese ceramics on the Western ceramic aesthetic, and how contemporary ceramics express cultural values. The use of symbolism in African art and in some 20th century art movements also influences my work.

I feel at liberty to utilize images and ideas from the vast storehouse of artistic tradition known to us, whether the source is a Kyoto tea bowl, a Picasso sculpture, an Escher drawing, or a commercial photograph. In an age of specialization, it is delightful to be able to transpose ideas from a variety of sources in order to create new work."
