Artist Statement
I am an artist working with clay, and mixed media. My work is influenced by the constant push-pull between the organic and the mechanical, variation in physical and psychological weight, and the process of working with a malleable material and firing it to an inflexible object.
My recent works combine memories with materials: plastic grapes from my mother's Thanksgiving cornucopia, a crawdad's hidden black egg cluster, and nostalgic surfaces like flocking, wax, rubber, and concrete.
