Working on a piece of Bill's was a little intimi­dating. He devoted himself to the "quiet power of the understated form"-and he succeeded!
What could I possibly add to something that is beautiful and perfect the way it is? I decided to indulge in color in a loose and dreamy style in­spired by wood fired ceramics to complement the organic nature of the piece.
I have always loved Bill's work and I wanted to connect with his philosophy by including his artist statement. Carefully inscribing his words on the piece gave me a deeper admiration for who he was as an artist and a person. It was a joy to work with one of his impeccable forms.
