My sculptures navigate preservation and the ephemerality of communities confronted with gentrification and sociopolitical boundaries. I utilize ceramic materials to examine socio-economic stratification and domesticity through encounters with architectural motifs from the Los Angeles urban landscape. Referencing the physical structure of homes that endure wear and tears, cracks, and weathering, my vessels are made of different clay bodies often pulling apart from each other in the firing process, embodying the essence of a lived-in home. My sculptural gates reference the wrought iron gates found throughout my neighborhood and the greater Los Angeles area. They hang as a beacon of protection and as a recurring attribute of architecture linked to the urban landscape. Together they function as portals into a reimagined world.
