Studio Description:
There are many parallels between ceramic vessels and people. Cups, bowls and pitchers have feet, bellies, shoulders and necks. Vessels and people also have exteriors which are on display for all to see, and interiors, which are often a mystery. Using altered vessels to imply attitude and gesture, I strive to explore and express human interactions. Slab constructions provide a setting for the figurative forms. Drawing on memories – real and imagined – and photographs as a catalyst, I create sculptures that question the roles and personalities of the members of my family. Though viewers may not know the full story, I strive to intrigue them with my forms so they may perhaps envision their own stories therein.
