Clay, like all primal materials, has personae.  It holds secrets, embeds traditions, and feeds the boundaries that nurture change.  Consequently, materials hold the inherent structure of “the possible becoming.”

Studio time is a kind of morphology: A quickener of tacit cues, which slows down my head to allow “seeping time,” as I work with tools in hand.  I call it practice: The wonderings of If – “If” as add-venturing.  “If” as play, serendipity, or chance.  “If” as the alternatives of un-thought: Intuitions and feelings that morph my parts and pieces into holds.  “Holds” nudge more pro-found possibles for what I thought I was trying to do with “now and then” or “how and why.”

When the power of “If” informs “the possible becoming,” and these inter-restings insist, I have found something useful to pursue and given material evidence to share with others.  I enjoy the rush of moving toward a more telling vessel: One in which the duality of material and spirit whisper the symmetry of wonder we share together.  My thanks to all who help draw the circumference around the center points and assure the future of “the possible becoming.”
