ARTIST STATEMENT

My work begins with the creation of multiple strong individual forms, made with the intention of bringing them together to create a larger and more complex visual conversation. Clay allows me to challenge perception through material contradiction—where surfaces suggest one thing while the object itself behaves differently.

Through layering, glazing, and assembly, I am interested in how forms can shift meaning as they relate to one another. Weight, durability, and function are often implied, then quietly undone. As viewers move through the work, relationships between shapes emerge, allowing narrative, gesture, and association to unfold through perception rather than representation.
