process + intention

My work in hand built functional ceramics is a holistic balance between function and flair - exploring forms that are simple and pragmatic, and complimentary to my bold, abstract surface design. My surfaces use negative space as an active design element to provide a kind of structure for saturated colour compositions to play in, and off of. 

I work primarily with slab construction, and incorporate surface embellishments with underglazes and glazes, and textures imprinted on, added to, and carved into the clay. 

As an artist, my inner intention is to create a personal visual language to uplift, process and understand the interpersonal, political, and spiritual influences at work in our current post-truth era. My outer intention is to create comfortable, joyful pots for colour and texture afficionados, and folks who appreciate visual and tactile stims with their cooking and refueling experiences.
