I build vessels using coiling techniques. I'm fascinated by the warmth and harmony of round, voluminous forms, but the pieces I create contain a sense of pressure, inaccessibility, and interior weight.

My experience with transition has drawn me to shapes that appear weathered by external forces, yet which are not destroyed by them. The surfaces of my vessels evoke slow processes like erosion and seepage rather than a singular catastrophic event. Using the accumulation of layers of slip and glaze, I create surfaces that develop cracks, veils of opaque and transparent colors, bloody-looking drips, and beads of glaze.

Through these vessels, I explore an enduring presence, one that is marked yet remains fundamentally intact.
