“I have always responded to the work of George Ohr whose pottery was extensively collected by David Whitney. Like Ohr, I love the lithe and organic quality that can be attained by throwing the clay as thinly as possible—it undulates and becomes wonderfully delicate. In homage to Whitney’s succulent garden, I have added porcelain hens and chicks to some of my pieces.”
