Artist Statement
I explore humanity through animal forms. Always searching for that connective tissue that binds us to one another, I combine these animals with inanimate or abstract objects as a representation of the obscure influences and relationships that shape an individual life in community. I am fascinated by our innate sense of purpose and the inner work of suffering and redemption.
I believe that every life is precious, and I hope to inspire empathy, kindness, and connection through my sculptural and functional ceramics.
My process involves a great deal of introspection, as well as time outside in the wilderness, writing and observing the natural world and the role of humanity in it.
