In ceramics, I am concerned about large non-figurative categories. There are several areas that I have been developing over the past decade. Conceptual objects and exhibition compositions which are designed to answer several important questions :

- How do people (viewers) interact with my  ceramics?

- When ceramic material resists active action, how does it show its true properties?

How can an image be developed  when it goes into the grotesque?

An object in a different material passes into a different sort of sensation .

I am interested in the metamorphosis of simple things - the Surrealism of form.

All this in the field of ceramics, as well as in the combination of ceramic materials with others, such as fiberglass, paperclay, polymers.
