I create characters, beings, that radiate a presence. Once in a while I will create variations on a theme, but there are never two alike. Starting from a sheet of clay, I form a cylinder and start pushing around the hollow form. I often make the heads separate from the bodies, so that they become movable. Reposition them and see how the figure's expression changes just by changing the position of the head to the body, just by changing their relation to one another: This is the basic principal of Puppet and Mask Theatre. It is also sculpture. All my sculptures are made of high fired stoneware clay.
