Textures and shapes from the earth. Rolled and tumbled in streams and rivers and the oceans. Scratched by retreating glaciers eons ago and still bearing the marks. Celebrating…rocks.

Rocks weather and erode into smaller and smaller particles. And the smallest of these, with or without the addition of other minerals and oxides, make up…clay. When I'm not hiking and kayaking around rocks and taking photos, I'll be in my clay studio. Meanwhile, keeping inspired by the geological origins of my medium!
