How do we find a space for ourselves in a world driven by algorithmic creation that craves flawless beauty? What does it say about humans that the more we can control the fewer flaws we allow?
I like to think of my construction process as investigative play living on the edge of camp and chaos, injecting friction into real world spaces by embracing the volatile, the vibrant, and the visually delicious.
Both my abstract and functional pieces are developed to embrace structures and forms imbued with character and magic. As a medium, clay has always been a material that speaks about the time, place, and reality it was made within. By creating work that is a little chaotic, a little playful, and very human, viewers can see an imperfect, flawed being from the outside and recognize that, just like them, it's valuable and interesting just as it is.
