This piece has been selected to be part of the Pottery Guild of BC’s 70th anniversary exhibition:
November 2025-January 2026
Earth, Fire & Form: A BC Ceramics Celebration
Italian Cultural Centre, Vancouver, BC
Title: Vessel of the Wanderer
Dimensions (in): 5.5”L x3”H x5”W
A hand formed vessel embodying the quiet pilgrimage of soul inspired by images of 18th/19th century kashkūls, the beggar’s bowls of wandering Dervishes. Its weathered patina surface evokes the passage of time and personal transformation, while the carbon-blackened interior suggests both emptiness and depth. Vessel of the Wanderer invites pause to consider what we carry and what we leave behind in search of what truly matters.

STATEMENT: Perhaps it is in the sacred act of letting go that creates an opening to the process of life as a giving…
it’s not the act of giving or what we give that makes the difference, it’s that we open ourselves up to
giving as a way of being
I began each day making a tiny earthenware offering vessel from materials of this place, filling its belly with nourishing food and giving the food as a daily offering to the ocean…
just begin with the intention, and act, of giving daily to the ocean waters and see what happens
The daily ritual became an invocation of sorts that opened a way of engaging more deeply with my inner world and the spirit of this place.

PhotoEd Magazine
A photo of one of my pit fired sculptures on the rocks by the Salish Sea has been selected to be part of
The LAND issue, in Canada’s photoEd magazine digital extra ed. January, 2024
'Chthonic’ features an artifact made by hand, birthed from earth, and directly of and relating to earth as one who has been to the depths. The image invites us to be in conversation with what’s under the surface that’s rarely exposed.
