I am inspired by nature and its relationship to theworld around me. How the roots of plantsentwine and mirror our human connections andrelationships. The flower growing out of a crackin the concrete, birds nesting in the eves ofbuildings. I love the versatility of clay, its abilityto create both solid and very delicate forms at thesame time. Combining clay with other mediums,the fluidity of ink and resin, or the naturaltextures of wood allows me to mirror the texturefound in nature and capture its beauty. |
