Artist’s Statement: Lately, I’ve been inspired to imitate the textures in the world around me. The fact that earth has the potential to be so flexible and malleable at one stage and so brittle and permanent at another is fascinating. The slightest texture I leave behind will forever be engraved on the surface of my work. These ideas of permanency and temporality excite me as an artist. I create texture in my ceramic works in part because of these properties of clay.
