Ceramics

When I choose ceramic as a material language, I choose it for the intimate, and archival way it commemorates moments in daily life, our rituals.  In ritual, in our senses, we find empowerment, comfort, control and celebration.

My most recent work in ceramic aspires to inhabit a psychosocial space and searches for undercurrents and juxtapositions through form, decoration and installation: soft and hard, frailty and strength, organic and synthetic, life and death, celebration and grief, the human and the clinical, the controlled and the involuntary; science and matters of the heart.
