I value the role of the dish. As an object it is passed from person to person, forming a direct relationship with touch, sight and with time memory. My generation is one of a fast-paced world where sacrifices must be made because of the demands of our jobs. My work is about encouraging the continuance of sharing with family and friends. I strive to create a balance between aesthetics and function with a strong desire to add an element of elegance to the everyday.
