In my studio, I work mostly with clay to create handcrafted pottery and ceramic sculptures inspired by nature. Each ceramic piece I make is a study of texture, capturing negative space through organic movement and creating shadows through depth and layered surfaces. I find inspiration from organic objects and underwater life in nature as well as Japanese culture, especially the idea that things should be wabi-sabi or perfectly imperfect. Just as in nature, there are millions of shells and no two pieces are exactly alike, the same is true for my ceramics.
Expanding upon my early work, which featured wood firing, now in my studio I mostly fire in an electric kiln and use techniques that mimic the results a wood firing. I use shells and other natural materials to create a strong texture on my work, and then stilt the vessel on its side with sea glass and a combination of glazes and allow gravity the chance to work its magic, resulting in a waterfall of colored glass.
