Artist's Statement
There has always remained a strong relationship between my body and clay. Both
materials are always changing, shifting and in a constant state of flux. I utilize raw clay
as a creative expression to illuminate what is happening internally.
We are all vessels, exploring our physical existence in whatever space we occupy –
Recently, an internal toil has transformed how I relate to my body and how my body is
relating to the world around me. This involuntary labor is taking force and yielding to
give way to something new. Similar to the transformation of clay I perform by mutating it
from one form to another, revealing new creation. The internal becomes visible to the
external.
This creative energy conversion unfolds to multiply, gestates while replicating, and
yields unending growth with overlapping evolutions.
