ABOUT

Artist statement

Experiences help to cultivate insight into the process and product. The object acts an intermediary, an integral part of the process. Utilitarian objects inscribe the ritual of the everyday, both in my life and in others. My work uses functional ceramics as a vehicle in the conversation on art and its social applications. I am interested in both the specificity of material, as well as the process in which the objects are made.
