Statement

As an intensely curious person, I find myself continually searching for new information, especially in the areas of science and nature.  From basic biology classes, I clearly remember the saying, “Amino acids are the building blocks of life.” This imagery of creating large and complex forms from smaller units remains with me today. Much of my sculptural ceramic work starts with questions such as, “What are the building blocks of ecosystems, waves, plants, molecules, etc.?”  By physically working through the architecture of a form, down to the tiniest detail, I explore and manipulate the answers to the inquiries.
