When creating a Spirit Mask, I feel an energy surging through me. Unlike my other creations, which I believe to be an extension of my own emotions, the Spirit Masks seem to evoke other spirits. They come in waves, they come in dreams. In the process of creating one , I feel the energy of another. I watch as their personalities emerge. It is as though they are coming to life through me...

Visions of another world exist inside of me
When I throw the clay on the table
I am able
To see
