I began working with two forms as the basis for my art in 1992. I wanted a simple framework that would allow for a great deal of diversity. Whatever enters this framework inevitably has to adapt to its terms. I was interested in what this adaptation might bring about.

I found myself drawn to singular subjects, because their articulation within the forms held more surprises. This gradually led me to collaborate with artisans in a wide range of fields. My current work in bell casting and Japanese lacquer has grown out of this practice.
