“As an artist, I use clay as a canvas to piece together metaphoric conjunctions between self and nature. In practice I use the repetition of characters to explore hidden identities and peculiarities. Historical and fictional icons populate an ever-evolving cosmology. Histories shapeshift and the moral of each story changes from piece to piece. The characters in my work are confined by the boundary of the vessel, but their capacity to assume meaning reaches beyond physical limits and into one’s imagination. My work discovers itself through practice, but inevitably comes to rest in the unknowable.”
