My medium is photography. Photography keeps me involved in seeing, observing, reinterpreting the world as I move through it, watching the light, the people's faces as we interact in casual conversations. Lately I have been photographing nature where there are not people, only light and shadow as it moves on the landscape of trees and water.

My process is unusual. First I throw my pieces on a wheel. Then I create a pattern using a vertical, horizontal, and diagonal grid, afterwards removing the top of the vessel so that I can get my hand inside. I cut through the wall and move parts of the clay pattern, changing the angles of the various connecting planes.

I start with a question or feeling about the environment, then study data like maps and satellite images. I go into the field with my camera — sometimes using materials like wildfire charcoal — and create images that combine data with personal observation, helping people see and feel environmental changes.
