Artist Statement:

My sculptural works are often ambiguous forms that amplify texture and poke at the boundaries of what clay as a material can do. There is an inherent fragility and vulnerability in ceramics. It is known to be breakable, but is stronger than you think. I often think of this as a fitting metaphor for people in body and emotions. The arch, one of the strongest architectural forms is a recurring element in my work, for both its structural strength and beauty.
