I like to think of my "potter career" as an ongoing process, a concept with the purpous of linking, mainly myself, but also the spectator or even better, the user, to tradition and history. I am very aware of the ancient technology involved in my making. Also the origin T`ang Dynasty, China, and I have managed to find my own path to a personal and modern expression. Woodfired earthenware is the vehicle for my ideas.
