" My works consist of both the sculptural and the functional. The beginnings of my career started with the creation of bowls, platters, jars and many household items.
Over time, the vessels became more sculptural in aspect though they were still basically functional.The movement to sculptures was exciting and rewarding. Forms unimaginable to me emerged from the clay as though they were always thee for me to materialize . A series of "Spires" and "Orbs" was among my first collection of works.
Today, the sculptures have moved onto pieces that someone term as "sheer fantasy". My joy is in making such forms that engage the viewer to something out of their imagination.
In no way, I have abandoned my love to create vessels. With these I try to capture texture, tone and movement.I see my works as contemporary - a life-long pursuit of creation from the heart."
