Q. Has one series been a more rewarding experience over another?

A. Some of the most rewarding series were the "Thirst" and "Regeneration" series, which asked broader questions.  With the "Thirst" series, I utilized ceramic history and a form that water vessels were able to inhabit. The research, study and having it materialize in front of me was fascinating.  With the "Regeneration" series, I can continue in a lot of different ways because it's more sustainable.

Q. What are you doing next?

A. I am interested in researching sound, harmonic sounds, and sound waves.  My next question is this:' is there a method to visualize the physical space that sound occupies?' Using voice-recognition software, I will identify symmetrical sounds, contrast "um" and "om," and create the patterns and forms that look like vessels out of clay.
