I’ve made clay bird bowls for many years. To me, they guard and embrace the spaces within, like loving parents. They are pinched, wheel-thrown and slab-constructed. Most are stoneware fired in oxidation. I use crows in two-dimensional work because they pay close attention and invoke for me the memory of my brother, Pieter.

Half After Five: Solarplate intaglio print on Rives BFK.
All the Time: Solarplate intaglio print on Rives BFk. This is a companion piece to Half After Five O'Clock. Here the crows contemplate the absence of the person who had occupied the chair, and their attention indicates that there may be still a living presence. One moment in time being "all" the time in the moment.
