Statement on Recent Work:

It starts with dirt. Dirt is you, will be you, and has been you. Each shallow footprint you leave follows the seemingly erased paths that humans have walked for thousands of years. Your movement follows that of invisible animals, multitudes of creatures coming before and after you. Remember the weight of all those bodies, their movement, that presence that has carved earth. 

​

Hold on to earth. Keep a stone in your pocket to understand time. Make room for all the small beings and growth in the spaces you share. Open your hands to both receive and to offer. You own nothing. You are supposed to be a guardian, as your movements interweave with every earthly entity. Come to this place and fill your cup here, in these whirlpools and rivers. You have only a short time to share before it is empty. And, until we each have our chance to sink back into the earth to become gardens: wild, infinite, unknowable, and free.

Aesthetic Vision
I am interested in creating moments where worlds flow together. These moments suggest there is something more than what appears to be: a place that is inhabited by both reality and fantasy, a place between remembering and forgetting where beauty and disgust are intertwined. These points where boundaries are dissolved reveal different possibilities for how to imagine the world.

​

These porcelain objects have disrupted borders. I want to capture a form as it changes from a contained, operating organism to something uncontained, fragmented and entwined with nature, animals and objects. This transformation of form, body or self is something we may experience in deep grief or death, in ecstasy or through intense connections to spiritual or inner worlds. These forms embody transition and become conduits for memory and fantasy.

 

​

Process
I hand build forms with clay. Decorative elements on pieces come from the ornamentation found on house architecture and domestic objects. Most pieces are comprised of many individually built parts that are assembled in the kiln or onsite during installation.
