Artist Statement
My
clay is wobbly
Sliding
swiftly through my fingers
Wobbly
on clay dome. Wobble on
Open.
Pull up. Thin out. Slap around
Sometimes
they make it
Sometimes
they don’t
Toss
it in the bucket
Start
again
Open.
Pull up. Thin out. Slap around
Pinch
it off
Now it
will sit
Sit.
Stiffen up. Be patient
In a
bucket I mix a little of this
A
handful of that
The
mixture is becoming binder. A texture
Score.
Bind. Attach. It looks good there
And
there. I grab another
Score.
Bind. Attach. Step back
The process
is familiar
Working
as a one woman assembly line
Bisque.
Glaze. Fire. Sandblast. Luster
Fire
again
Each
action creating a symbiotic relationship
Bisque.
Glaze. Fire. Sandblast. Luster
Or I toss
it in the bucket
And start
again

With
current US politics attempting to reverse human and women’s rights, I create
art to keep these rights moving forward. Much of my body of work consists of
feminine-inspired forms and objects with strong female content. The colors and
topics are loud but I also work to inject humor into these heavy topics. It is
clear to me that Women’s and Civil Rights have come under heavy fire in the
political realm. I strive to make work that is functional and domestic,
attempting to keep these conversations at the ‘everyday’ level, thereby making
my art more inclusive for multiple audiences, as opposed to limiting it to
specific groups or sites. Clay is
my material of choice because it is a malleable material that encourages
touching. I am interested in seeing how the soft becomes strong, and I am
pleased with the tactile sensations of the finished projects.
