Artist Statement
Over the past several years, I have been doing studies of the different flower symbols seen throughout the history of different cultures, and carving them onto white clay vessels as a neutral canvas. I enjoy the way the patterns and forms engage each other. Though I spend many hours looking at historical designs, I carve them from memory, adding my own interpretation while responding to the curves of my forms. My end goal is to create beautiful, utility-based forms that inspire users to engage in slow, deliberate moments of sustenance.
