The artist statement addresses my Clay-Animation.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The
images of fables are reflections of the potentialities within every one
of us. Through contemplating fables, we evoke their powers in our own
lives. The narrative intention of a fable is the moral fiber of my work.
I cherish the cycles of yearning and atonement, which reveal the
radiance of a characters personal discovery. It is within this cycle
that an audience can see a characters ability to navigate the struggles
beyond a visible plain of existence. To simply exist is, of course, a
part of the characters role. Though, I’ve selected clay-animation as a
means to manipulate clay as a material, wherein I can indicate a greater
life value for my ceramic objects.
In other words, through clay-animation my characters act-out beyond their vitrified existence.
Jarring
that frozen sense of existence, I am able to jolt a characters
narrative awake and document their existence through short film. Though
it’s for a gnat’s-breath of a moment, my characters experience life.
They relate and understand the world beyond physical objects. The
characters become bearers of messages, beasts of burdens, and ultimately
allow us to contemplate the potential within their fable.
