PASSION with Clay
 

.
The Adventure begins...

I am a potter, not a sculptor. I shape the clay around with my hands, my approach is spontaneous, lyrical, and whimsically transforming soft clay into a form that enriches my creativity as each piece is a "one of a kind" artwork.

The ease with which my hands effortlessly manipulate soft clay into ridges of flowing form is enhance through the cutting of grooves into its surface, curving and flexing...

... around the shape I am creating are the results of interpretation that captures the light, textures and colors of Mother Nature...

Echoing images that reflect timelessness from the distant past instilled with the artist's fresh point of view.

My working with clay is not so much a medium for expressing myself as an artist, as it is one for discovering.

My artistic creations from clay incorporated the exciting elements of both chance and surprise that will intrigue anyone.

My creations are about me,
what I like and
what I care about...
my expression!
 

"To enjoy--to love a thing for its own
 sake and for no other reason."
Leonardo Da Vinci, artist and scientist

In search of my soul

I prefers to work with clay because the soft spinning sound of the pottery wheel allows my mind to wander and create images that are peculiar to my own experiences.

"There's something beautiful about pottery and my ceramic art piece--frozen sense of time and the expression it projects."

Unlike most other art forms, pottery is an expression of self. It's a vehicle that allows me to graphically depict my innermost thoughts and emotions and I enjoy the idea of people trying to interpret my work on their own terms."

The hidden realm of the Japanese courtesan--just like ceramist art--are subject of countless stories, poetry, songs, writers and artists attempts...

To shed light on these secretive beauties who live out their lives in public--yet remain private underneath their magical white faces and crimsoned rosebud lips.

In pursuit
      of creativity
As a potter and ceramist potter, I am inspired to go for a melodramatic sense of colour and space.

All I know is that my pottery pieces will have elements of modernism that take on a positive view of imagery.

As an artistic potter, I am willing to experiment, and mark with my own pottery styles.

At this stage, I have a chest full of ideas. I'm nervous, anxious, and yet strangely enthusiastic about what the future holds for my ceramic works of art.

But like most ceramic artists, I am still searching for my artistic soul--to me, its a life-long quest. But for the present, I shall let my creative vision spark my dreams and inspiration.

Only some
can see my vision
and dreams
of my
creations and
the magic
that lies...

Those who open
their hearts and
unlock their mind...

Will see beauty
where my
treasure lies...

A place
where not
many know
and
few dare to go...

Making the Unseen Seen

A sudden fascination for pottery has allowed a young ceramist artist to peel away at the deep layers of mystery that lie beneath the outward appearance of soft moist clay and found that creating pottery art pieces similar to the way artist painting depicts painting--both involve intense exploratory processes.

It's not about what I create or how I create my pottery pieces, but about how I dream and aspire to create them. Pottery requires exploring--my ceramic work must jump at the viewer and each must evoke a sense of the creator internal personality, the emotions and the mood.

When viewers look at my ceramic works--they are enticed to peel away at the depicted clay art piece--to explore inner elements, emotional and mental processes that have occurred beneath the flesh that tried to reach unseen human layers existing beneath the physical countenance of a potter.

What makes pottery intriguing to learn is the distinctive vocal intonation of each ceramic pieces that defines the style of potter flirting with soft wet clay, flirting outrageously with a sensation of being completely dazed by a hypnotizing spinning wheel that ignite the potter flashing sequence of rhythmically hands on soft clay in order to create an art clay piece that somehow trigger perceptions of emotions in the mind of the observer.

It is the feeling of speaking out, that my timeless object of ceramic creations exists-- capturing my painstaking endeavors to create an aura of natural tranquility can be felt almost instantly like scents that arouse emotions.
