Artist Statement
My current work, “Dissections,” is part of an ongoing exploration of non-traditional materials in functional adornment. Ceramic figurines, slabbed into cross section, become the framework for pieces yielding unpredictable organic forms suggestive of both bone and cell. On edge, the original form reveals itself with a sliver of a hand or a face, a nod to the parent material and the body it adorns.
