Artist Statement
I work with a variety of materials: lush porcelain, colorful and translucent glass, and resilient steel, using tools and processes that are familiar to the kitchen, the sewing room, and the clay studio. The shapes that emerge are a conversation between my hands and the clay. Referencing remembered stories from my past, and what is in front of me at the moment, my ceramic components are both bricks and windows: responding to and defining space and celebrating light and shadow. The abstract forms move and meander along the wall allowing the eye or hand to explore space both within and around. They can obscure or reveal, both, at once the frame for story and story in their own right. Each perspective brings a new story that can draw my audience in new directions. What I make can be, at the same time, beautiful and overt in its utility and part of a larger thoughtful exchange that moves far beyond the traditional.
