Artist Statement

I work in ceramics using both slip casting and throwing techniques. Working with white clays, primarily porcelain, I am interested in the fragile qualities that can be achieved from these clay bodies. I find the fine characteristics of these materials, especially porcelain with its almost translucent nature when fired, very alluring and like to draw on this delicate quality in my practice. 

I focus on the contrast between the uniqueness found in nature against reproduced more industrial forms, and I try to incorporate this into my work by abstracting nature and creating collections of similar ceramic objects.
