His work is based on idea of the formation of material awareness through
ceramic practices. One of his major interests is how a personal understanding
of materials, techniques and process can be transformed into art works.
He has focused on interactive relationship between the ceramic artist and
clay as one of the important elements of his creation, and considered how
his ideas can be formed and presented in studio work.
