Artist Statement:
I make art because it is the best way for me to be present in and engage with my surroundings and to communicate about the experience through image, object and material. Tensions I think about in the work are presence-impermanence, isolation-connection, specificity-universality. Working in ceramics is a culmination of my interests and experience thinking about material, texture, form and color; and there is nothing more meditative nor primordial than having your hands in clay.
