I have
always been a people watcher. In the first
grade I did not play with the other kids.
I stood back and watched. And I have been
watching ever since. I watch what people
do and imagine what they might like to do.
Life and society are such that we cannot
always say and do what we like. However,
in the imaginary world in which my ceramic
people live, they can.
At the dawn of
mankind primitive peoples fashioned clay
objects. They sculpted about what they
knew and wanted. Pregnant women and
animals were the hot topics of the day. I
think of my work much the same way. Though
the topics may be different I feel a link
to those old people sitting around playing
with this beautifully plastic material.
