Artist's Statement
Being a potter always makes it difficult when working on a themed exhibition. I’ve always done these types of
exhibitions with a literal translation of the theme. For this show, “thirst” for me means bowls, cups, or
teapots. But I like the idea that thirst could also be interpreted as a “thirst” for knowledge, strength,
skill, family, and friends.
