My work is guided by a meditation on change and impermanence, as well as a deep fascination with geological weathering and natural formations that invite the body. I sculpt collaboratively with the clay, allowing it to guide my hands and body down the paths that lead to its eventual realization. I embrace any surprises or dramatic developments that occur as the form progresses, adding and subtracting material in a fluid manner. I process my emotions through my body, and as I sculpt, my hands bring tangibility to fleeting feelings.

Both my forms and functional ware encourage physical interaction and tactile exploration. I aim to instill the same wonder and curiosity in my audience that I experience while conversing with the  clay.

In my practice, I challenge the primal impulse to seek comfort in ideas of permanence. I envision bodies as geological formations: physical records of change, collections of the forces that have shaped them over time, and living displays of the experiences and influences that determine their unique evolutions. My work investigates how seemingly unchangeable entities can be altered drastically by minuscule, repetitive actions. It ponders the human incapacity to observe gradual change as it happens, despite being connected through our inevitable surrender to the forces of nature.
