Artist’s Statement

Pottery. Ceramics. Clay. I am interested in challenging myself within the boundaries of this material, but not in contempt or denial of its historical weight. I primarily use ceramic to extend its classical sensibility onto a more contemporary locale. It is not my intention to repeat traditions of potterymaking or blur the edges between art and craft. The fluidity of clay allows me to be playful in a manner that explores the contradictions and similarities between antiquity and current fashion.
