Deirdre McLoughlin at the 4th World Ceramic Biennale 2007 Korea

"Balance and harmony, poise and contrast in each of the individual forms as well as in the interplay of the two vessels determine the first impression here. With a powerful formal language as well as proportion and fragility of the vessel types, they present themselves as sculptural objects, spatial bodies".

"In addition, unspectactular and inconspicuous, there is the elegance of the material component, of the exquisite technique which also corresponds to the language of ideas: finest marble seems to have been used rather than clay, warmth and skin-like surfaces are to be found where unglazed surface defines spatial volume. Unpretentiously, nonsense is made of the ceramic discussion about vessel and sculpture".
