   In the field-of-spirit, past present and future are of one piece.  There is a mystery at the heart of all being.  Science encounters it and seeks to explain it.... art on a different level of reality is compelled to express it.

The hand is a live instrument of experience, used in daily life to hold, lift, grip & explore.  As a tool for living, it becomes a tool for knowing.

edging the pot

I am interested in how pots can be used every day to bring art into our lives enhancing our experience with food, adorning our homes, & providing a necessary ritual to nourish our soul & mind as well as our bodies. 
                                                     - Josh DeWeese  
A bowl is both a bowl & Bowl. This dualism of the symbolic & functional endows pottery with its secret life of metaphors & memory & gives pottery an intense potential for resonance.

work of Brother Bezanson

The weight of a cup in your hands, the feel of its surface on your skin, and its  touch on your lips are all essential elements in the aesthetic experience of utilitarian pottery.  
                                                   -  Steven Roberts 
Clay in its responsive plasticity is so human, so living, that in one can wonder at the delights of the potter in caressing it upon the wheel.
                                                - Charles Binns

My  pottery work reflects a circular relationship between material, idea & process. I see it as a reflection of body, mind & spirit.
