​ The objects and ideas that happen in my studio are continuously cycling through life and death. I use transformative materials and active processes to formulate work.  Porcelain is one material I am greatly affected by. It can be a utilitarian workhorse and a precious handmade object.  It is both proletariat and aristocratic in it's persona. Throwing and slip casting are important outlets for my work. The inherent aspects of molded work hold a language of containment and the energy of release and transformation that I want to project and with throwing I focus on the subtle lines and gesture of the pot. I think in proportions, volumes, curves, and functions, to create beauty. This intimate language of crafted objects and personal vessels carries into my sculptural work.  Always thinking about the space between body and object. Regardless of the form my work takes, I would like to think that using notions of functionality and showing process are an empathetic gesture towards the viewers’ understanding of the work.
